a courier who takes this to Vienna
is charged with the Particulars of this
great Success of the Russian Army,
so that you will have it soon in the
News Papers and having nothing
to tell you for certain about myself
I should have delayed longer writing
were it not to prevent your being
under anxiety on my account
on hearing of so desperate an
action in this Neighbourhood.

you from hence at my arrival
but uncertain of my stay here

The pleasing prospect that I had formed
of coming in upon you Tuesday
when I flattered myself you wd
be assembled together I must now
abandon but I trust our meeting
may be as happy one day as another
of the Impatience I feel
when I indulge myself with such Ideas
& that I am with the most affectionate
respect your dutiful Son
