Sir

Cents, the balance due according to the statement in my letter of Apr. 4. & your answer. I inclose you Dr Everett’s account for his attendance on the negro man, and Lewis’s account for board & nursing with the award of the arbitrators to whom it was submitted by consent, and the receipt for the money.
