Supposes that General Benjamin Lincoln has already arrived in Philadelphia by now. Hopes Lincoln gave a good account of him. Hopes to see his father in 2 1/2 months and to return with him to Philadelphia. Wants a new hat for the rain as his old one is spoiled. Claims his uncle will not get him a new one until receiving permission from Lucy. Says he will be obliged if Lucy can send him his "surtuit" (possibly a surtout coat) when General Lincoln returns. Asks to be remembered to his family and "any of the young Gentlemen of my Acquantance [sic]."
