One page, on piece of lightly aged paper, roughly six and a half inches by seven. Strip neatly torn away at head (not affecting text, but perhaps bearing recipient's address). Good, with a little damage from breaking of wafer and slight evidence of previous mounting on revese. Thirteen lines. He is sending the selected autographs, and will 'be happy to receive, at your leisure, those of Currie, Daubeny, Mc.Culloch, Flowers, Woodville & Phillips & Jones - or such 5 of them as you can best spare'. Wonders whether his correspondent is 'rich in American articles': 'I very much want some of them - viz. Penn, <?> - Washington <?> - & some of their Divines. Edwards - Dwight Mason - Romeyn. Stuart &c -'. Hopes he can help him 'in these'.
