My dearest friend

I have only time to say that I am well. That Mr. Paine has arrived and Mr. Vining will be here to day when the Senate will be full.

I have no hopes of the Senates rising before next Saturday -- if the Business is sooner finished I shall be pleasantly disappointed.

Mrs. Washington desires to be most Affectionately remembered to you.

After 3 days rain We are now in hopes of fair Weather. Love to all.
