Dr Charles

Some days past I had hoped to have been able to have informed you ere this of our intention to visit your city before our return to Som:t This object is yet not entirely declined but depends upon circumstances of a very uncertain nature, to wit, the caprice of governmental agents. When I was here last I recd an adv^t on a/c of materials to be delivd in and abt 10 M $. Since w^ch I have exceeded in the delivery of materials that cont more than 5M D^rs which I shall receive tomorrow. I have petitiond for a continuation of the adv^t [or bogt] of [illegible] when am^t of materials deliv^d. It was made since 15 M $

which was promised me a few days past but the Frigate Presidt hav^g arriv^d a large Sum was rec^d to pay off her Crew and consequently I was postponed and Somerset remain (till the arrival of the Sc^y who will be here two days hence). Since unfortunately for me, another frigate, (the Congress) is announced, and whether or not I shall get money remains doubtfull. If I do it make me easy lifes or not I must struggle a little longer. I made a considerable contract and several more in different stages of negociation. It will afford me great pleasure to see you in Phila. God bless you.

Yrs truly

Litt. D Teackle
