Dear Sir,
I thank you for your kind attention to the claim of Philip P. Bedrea. in consequence of your letter I enclose a power of Attorney authorizing you to get the warrant for him for as much land as he may be entitled to, he is the only child that Philip Bedrea ever had and therefore the warrant must be made out in his name I presume no affidavit is necessary to prove this. if so please to communicate & it shall be done - you will please get the warrant and bring it with you when you return home from Congress.
What will be the result of Burns conspiracy, I fear the consequences. This with the unexampled success of Bonaparte I hope will induce Congress to take immediate energetic measures for the defense & protection of this country. I hope you will give your aid & support in favor of Mr. Elliott resolutions or some of them.
I have the Honor to be Sir Yr. most obedt. Servt
