Harwood writes with the reactions to the death of Governor Sloughter, under whose personal signature Livingston's loans to the government were made. Harwood claims, to the hopes of Livingston, that "there be some probability of the Lordships paying those old Debts" and then discusses the corruption of the Court of William III. Harwood hopes for peace and good trade, and ends with the belief that "by the next [letter] from here you will have good or very bad news." Docketed on address leaf.
