Dear Sir
It is some time Since, that I reced a letter from you concerning a matter which gives you great Anxiety -- I did not answer it because I did not know to whom to trust the Answer--
I have this morning written to you a letter containing the Determination of the Council yesterday -- which entirely acquits you of all & everything &tc & -- this letter you will receive by the same Opportunity--
In respect of the [?] prosecuted by the Attorneys, it is long & [throughs?] reflection[s?] on S. S. Blowers -- the Council [Resolves? Resolving? Resolved?] that it is undeserving Notice--
The Whole of the proceedings in Council will be publish'd in [Henry's?] Paper and as I have already written to you, will be transmitted altogether-- I have been preparing the Copies already -- We have been Unanimous in our Opinion The very best Wishes of this family attend you and Mrs Deschamps.
