I trouble you at present to send me a box of good sallad oil, and some Vanilla. the Vanilla may come by post, but the oil must be addressed to Mess rs...

I recieved yesterday your’s of the 10th. of May: and am not sorry for the departure of Kramer; as, tho’ he had several good qualities, he was awkward & ignorant. but I think it better not to take Edward. he is a very capable servant, but stands too much on etiquette. I like servants who will do every thing they are wanted to do. he is moreover so fickle that he has served all the masters in...

Mr. Monro has no funds in his hands which the law allows to be applied to any object about the President’s house: consequently all necessary repairs must now be made at my expence. that of the pump being necessary, you will be so good as to have it repaired and mr Barnes will pay the bill. I recieved your letter of the 7th. last night only. I am in hopes the family with you is all well, as you...
