Sir,
By yesterday morning's mail I received two letters, superscribed by you, one addressed to <sup>the Rev'd</sup> Stephen Peabody, at Atkinson, N. Hampshire, which is inclosed, the other to your son Charles, which I now send to him.
According to your directions, I am preparing the papers and business which I imagine you may think proper to lay before Congress.
I have the honor to be
with great respect,
Sir, your most ob<sup>t</sup>. Serv<sup>t</sup>.
Timothy Pickering
The President of the U States
