Jany 31. 1791.
There is no proof of my affection which
I would not willingly give you. How
far it
will be practicable to accomplish your wish respecting
your
father is however very uncertain — Our republican
ideas stand
much in the way of accumulating offices
in one family — Indeed I
doubt much whether
your father could be prevailed upon to accept.
I do
not however urge this point till I can
better ascertain the ground
— There is as yet
no certainly here of the mission from England;
which must precede one from this Country.
My official labours so far have not
been unsuccessful though they have not issued
exactly as I wished
— but it is said much
better than could
reasonably have been expected.
I look forward to a period, not very distant,
when the establishment of order in
our Finances
will enable me to execute a favourable wish.
I must
endeavor to see Europe
one day; and you may imagine how happy
I shall be to
meet you, and Mr. Church there —
