Dear Sir

If you will be so good as procure for me a well built
Handsome post-chariott, I will remit the price of it in
due season. Something like the inclosed device may be
put upon it. Of the several articles I have lately wrote
for, the glasses, balls and other apparatus, such as are
used by the house of commons in balloting and the du
plicates of our journals, I am most anxious about, and
earnestly desire your particular attention to. The jour
nals especially would be of considerable advantage to
me.

I am,
Dear Sir
Your sincere friend and
wellwisher

G Wythe
