[salute] Dear Sir
I am so unwell to-day that I cannot stir out. Will you have the goodness to expedite what is necessary for Mr. Livingston and he will bring the Papers1 for me to sign. I suppose a Commission, Instructions and our Orders for his sailing will be sufficient. Adieu
[signed] A Lee

letters of Schweighauser and Whipple
those
of the 16th are both calendared below; see also Livingston to Benjamin Franklin, 21 July,
