Johnson Hall Septr 30th 1765.

Madam

This Letter will be delivered to your hands by my Son whom I Send to England for sometime to acquire some knowledge of the World, and wear off that Rusticity which must accompany the Actions of a Young Man, whose Life has been chiefly spent on the frontiers of America & I am persuaded that you and the rest of liiy friends in London, w'ill afford him any countenance or advice he may stand in need of

The Last Letter I had the honour to Write you was the 12*1^ of March Last, wherein I informed you that on a Supposition that the Quit-rents, Debts, and Mortgages therein ment^ were to be paid by M"" DeLancey there would be a ballance due to him of j£1516.17.2^ Curry & that he pressed me to request you would pay these off to Lady Warren. -- I Likewise informed you that it was said here that it would be necessary you should take some steps for proving the Insanity of your • Son before you could dispose of the other tract.
