I last night recd yours of 23 Novr—and will write you more fully upon it soon. We
shall agree in every Thing I believe but the Article
{ 104 } of L 6857: 3s, which you charge me for 29 Feb. 1780, as an order to give Mr Dana Credit
for this Sum. This should be charged to Mr Dana, as I Shall easily convince you, as
part of his Salary.
