My dear Sir - According to promess I send you my 3d & 4th report which you requested for Mr Paine - I have also add something respecting our aborigines 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 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 printed befor they adjourn - the maps must go to Philadphia.

Your truly G. Troost
