I have received, and thank you for your former favor of the 18th of Jany—the assurances of unabated friendship on your part are flattering and pleasing to me; and call for an acknowledgement—which I can make with truth—of reciprocal regard on mine—It will ever give me pleasure to hear of your health & prosperity—with much esteem, & sincere affection I am Dr Sir yr most Obedt Sert
