&lt;p&gt;Philadelphi Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. 6. 1790.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My dear sir -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Dinwiddie delivered&lt;br /&gt;me your letters, and the two haunches. We are much&lt;br /&gt;obliged to you for them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have had no intercourse with&lt;br /&gt;young W. L., since I received your last upon the&lt;br /&gt;subject, and wrote to him in the usual manner as&lt;br /&gt;to the necessity of his father's consent. It has been&lt;br /&gt;said, that he has intended to come hither for&lt;br /&gt;some months past. I suppose that he has accoun-&lt;br /&gt;ted for the delay to C; but I can hear nothing&lt;br /&gt;from him. The affair is mysterious to us; but&lt;br /&gt;does not seem to make any impression upon&lt;br /&gt;her. So that I presume upon a perfect under-&lt;br /&gt;standing &lt;sup&gt;as&lt;/sup&gt; subsisting between the parties. I&lt;br /&gt;have often thought of writing to the old gentle-&lt;br /&gt;man; and this I shall do, unless and ecclaircisse-&lt;br /&gt;ment comes in due season. You will readily believe,&lt;br /&gt;that so definitive a step, as that which is on&lt;br /&gt;the tongue of report, would never be assented&lt;br /&gt;to by us without your approbation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am my dear sir&lt;br /&gt;y&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. sincere friend&lt;br /&gt;Edm: Randolph.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When W. L: first wrote to me&lt;br /&gt;I answered him, as you know.&lt;br /&gt;His berbal reply thro' Lewis&lt;br /&gt;Nicholas was that his father&lt;br /&gt;had consented.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;John H. Norton esq&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winchester&lt;br /&gt;Virginia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. Dinwiddie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phil&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt;. 6 Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; 1790&lt;br /&gt;Edm&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Randolph&lt;br /&gt;Rec&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; - Answ&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;inclosed is a Letter&lt;br /&gt;from Warner Lewis&lt;br /&gt;to Edm&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Randolph&lt;br /&gt;dated 22&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. Dec&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;. 1790&lt;/p&gt;</text>
