N° 149 Strand London—
July 31, 1809
My Dear Friend,
Your favor of the 4th of May was received this Morning by the
June Packet from N. York—I have only time to acknowledge its
reciept by the Radius which sails tomorrow for New York—I have
it not in my power to say any thing as to the prospect of executing
your order—only that it shall be done if practicable—Woolens, of a
fine quality—are high—other articles at usual prices— Tomorrow
evening I shall go to Yorkshire and on return, which will be in a
few days, I shall write you again and hope to be able to advise you
satisfactorily—
I shall Embark for France as soon as any opportunity shall
present—the sailing of the Grand Expedition has suspended all
intercourse with the Continent for some time past—but I am in hopes
it will soon be restored again—I shall be obliged to go by the way
of Holland—
The public papers will give you all the news afloat in this Country
To them I refer you—not haveing time to say any thing on the
subject of Politics.—
I have not heard a word from my friend Mr Bond since I left
New Hampshire—I most sincerely hope that your arrangement with
him will prove mutually beneficial—Success to all your Enterprises
and laudable speculations, is the wish of my heart—
I am happy to hear that Austin and Charles Elliott have returned
home—I hope that all things have been explained to your satisfaction
and that of Doct and Mrs Elliott—to whom, as to Mrs. Austin, family
and all friends I pray you to present me most Respectfully— and I
beg you to be assured of my friendship and esteem
Seth Hunt
