Letter text

Dear Sir,

If you will be so good as procure for me a well built handsome post-chariott, I will remit the price of it in due season. Something like the inclosed device may be put upon it. Of the several articles I have lately wrote for, the glasses, balls and other apparatus, such as are used by the house of commons in balloting and the duplicates of our journals, I am more anxious about, and earnestly desire your particular attention to. The journals especially would be of considerable advantage to me. I am,

Dear Sir,

Your sincere friend and
Well wisher
G. Wythe
Williamsburg
Aug. 8. 1768.
