Mrs Williams is much better but yet weak. Mumford has the Fever and Ague—besides I have my man Servant my Wifes maid and my Bookeeper all sick, with my hands more full of Business than usual, this must apologise for my brevity. I am as before.

Note. I have examined the Catalogue of the sale of the Marquis de la Fayette, and marked Public against those Goods I shipped on the public Account. Where I have marked against Totals I mean all to be public, whether the Detail be marked or not. Such as I think are private property I have marked not public in the Summary and X in the Detail. There were a few Goods shipped on Freight with my Knowledge and a List was sent to Congress, but as the marks are not preserved I cannot tell exactly which they are. I believe however they did not amount to the quantity which appear in the List marked X; and of the Wine, Salt, Brandy, Cordials Anchovies, Oil, Medicines Crockery Ware preserved Fruit &c I was kept Ignorant. They were shipped without my knowledge and Consent except 45 Cases containing about 2250 Bottles of Claret. So that in these articles alone the ship had the Bulk of about 125 hhds 60 Cases and 110 Boxes.
