Says, "Your Reluctance to give Trouble will doubtless suggest objections -- apprized of this, we shall be particularly careful to preserve such a Degree of Simplicity in our domestic management as will render you easy on that Head. In a word -- you shall be received and entertained exactly in the way which, if in your place, I should prefer, viz., with plain and friendly hospitality." Tells Washington that there is a room for his secretary too. Thanks Washington "as an American, for generously complying with the wishes of our Country at this interesting period."
