MAD. MSS.
Philada. Sepr 6, 1784.
Hon'd Sir,—I arrived at this place the night before
last only, having declined starting from Fredg. at the
time I proposed when I parted with you, & having
staid at Baltimore one day, at the latter place I fell
in with the Marquis & had his company thus far. He
is proceeding Northwd. as far as Boston from whence
he goes to the Moran Treaty at Fort Stanwix and
from thence returns to Virga. about the same time that
I must be there. He presses me much to fall into
his plan, and I am not sure that I shall decline it. It

be rewarded by the pleasure of his company and the
further opportunity of gratifying my curiosity. I
have nothing to add at present but that I am your
affec son
