FROM HENRY MOORE
A.L.S.¹
Albany Sep^r. 26, 1766
I arrivd here last Night from my Expedition to the Lake
Champlain, & should have proceeded directly for your house this
morning, but some dispatches which I receiv'd by the Pacquet will
detain me here till Sunday morning, at which time I propose to set
out for Schenectady, & to be with you the next day; I am sorry to
inform you that on my return I found My Wife too much
indispos'd to attempt a Journey in which She had proposed much
Satisfaction, but as I have already trespassd to much on your time,
by a delay which the unfavorable Weather I met with occasiond,
I shall set out without my family on Sunday Morning. I am S^r.
With great truth & Regard
Y^r. most Obed^t. & hum^l. Sev^t.
H: MOORE
