Wilmington May 21st 1812
Esteemed Friend
As I have such an excellent opportunity of writing to you I thought it would be a shame to let escape but I have nothing to inform you of any importance excepting [---] great rejoicing here on account of the declaration of war
I saw Jacob Haines yesterday afternoon he is very well and informed me he intended returning to your good friend Kents you heard C. Lukens was teaching school and I Palmer also is.
I would be obliged to you if you would look for my skates and send them down by the first opportunity. Please to answer this soon as you can. Remember me to James Smith and all the others.
Excuse this for it is wrote in haste. I remain your sincere friend
William C. Geddes
