Mrs Washington has done me the
honor
of communicating the inclosed [sic.] proposition of our sisters of Pennsylvania and of informing me that the same grateful sentiments are displaying themselves in Maryland justified by the sanction of her letter in handing forward the scheme I undertake with chearfulness [sic.] the duty of fur- nishing to my countrywomen an opportunity of proving that they also participate of those virtuous feelings which gave birth to it. I cannot do more for its promoti- on than by inclosing [sic.] to you some of the papers to be disposed of as you think proper. |

| Madam | |
| Your most humble servant | |
