My dear Sir - According to promess I lend you my 3' & 4h report which you requested for Mr Paine - I have also send? something respecting one aborigenes or as I beleive of an extinct race of men that once inhabited this country - and a letter for Mr. Paine. As I am not acquainted with the direction of that Gentleman, I wish you would have the goodness to direct it - I hope you will find some means to send it by some opportunity - litterary men have seldom money to pay which , such? larg postages - I See the Legislature have appointed a committee for my report - if they are not expeditious, then my report will not be preoted? before they adjourn - the maps must go to Pheladu Philadia?

Your truly G. Troost
