I have the honor to be, &c.
FRANCIS DANA.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS.
Cambridge, December 17th, 1783.
Sir,
I do myself the honor to inform your Excellency of my arrival at Boston in the s.h.i.+p Kingston, on Friday last, after a pa.s.sage of ninetyfive days from St Petersburg. I propose to set off for Congress as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made for my journey, provided the severity of the season should not render it impracticable. I wish, however, that your Excellency would be pleased to write to me by the return post, (to which time it is possible I may be detained) whether it is the expectation of the Congress, that I should come on to the place of their session, and without loss of time, to render a more particular account of my late mission. There is nothing I should more earnestly wish, than to meet a strict inquiry into my conduct during the time I have had the honor of being a servant of the public.
I have the honor to be, &c.
FRANCIS DANA.
