Washington 22^d April 1806

Dear Charles

I wrote you from Anapolis last Sunday and promised to advise you on my getting here, as I then suggested. I left A. on Tuesday morning after an unpleasant Journey I got here at 5 P.M. (yesterday) very well. This day has been spent seeing some acquaintances and a circuitious wride about Geo. Town and this City. The day after Tomorrow I contemplate visiting Alexandria and hope that the fore part of the ensuing week to leave here for Baltimore where I shall remain a day or two and then take the Stage for Philadelphia and stay a few days with you. Littleton and Betsy are here, they as well as their Child are well. It was intended to leave Elizabeth with her Gradmother but the hooping cough in the family forbit it.

I presume S. Lipencott has got to Phil^e. and that Col^o Cropper's Scooner with the Brandy I mentioned to you in my last asking your attention to have stored till I got there. If those Vessells have arrived I should like to know it and as well when S. Lipincott expected to get back

to Philadelphia from New Yourk, as I might make a little calculation to see him in P, and I feel also desirous to hear how you all do. Therefore, I should be glad you would inform me by the mail after the receipt of this of the fore going &c. I am at present at Stells and should I move it will find me.

You have in the papers any thing which I can say of news nor can I add further than the united love of Betsey and Littleton (who are now by me) to you and their Sisters. If you don't write by the Frydays Mail, your letter after that day had best be addressd to the care of M^r. Atterbury and to remain with him till I get there.

Your father
John Teackle
