Dr Sir -
I enclose you the news of the day - you must / Know the Dutch Synod are now in Sefsion in this place _ and / part of their business was a proposition of union [^ in a certain degree] between the / Reform Dutch Church + the Presbiterians _ which has been / rejected _ + which was the ground work of the inclosed _ / Apollos is not known _ _ but you will well know who / Apollos aims at __ therefore I need not mention his name _
The Canvafs of Senators are gone thro with, but the / Certificates not yet signed _ the Election Stands much / as we conjectured in New York _ _ Sanger & [Roseboone] have / a large majority _ _ Mr Mitchil of New York I under-/-stand had a majority of [^ Eighty] nine votes only _ I inclose / you also two of our Albany Papers _ the Centinel has / nothing worth reading or I should send you that also /
I Just asked Mr Hale whether he or Gansevoort were / going down _ he answered he had fully wrote you / on that Subject __ nothing new _ all are well.
We are anxious to see you home _ m give my best / respect to the Governor + family _ in Haste _
Yours sincerely +c
