[Circular letter beginning] Respected friend. As our correspondence with most of our friends, both at home and abroad, has been interrupted on our part, for nearly three months past, it is proper that we should account to them for so extraordinary a suspension, and give some account of our late and present situation. [ending, unsigned] We are ... respectful friends, [followed by an italicized note] / [Samuel Rowland Fisher].
