I had destined a sum of rent due to me July 1. to pay the amt of my last year’s acct to you, 611.17 which however not being yet recieved I inclose you an order for that sum payable Jan. 1. ensuing being the earliest I can command with certainty. this will be due for wheat sold & payable then. mr Yancey had supposed we should have 1000.b. for market but as we proceed in fanning, it appears to yield less than expected: and altho there is a certainty there will be more than will cover this order, yet I have thought it due to the purchaser to limit the order provisionally as I have done. I could have been more punctual with you, but that I have had to make considble payments towards the bond assd to mr Miller, & am to pay the whole by the 1st of July next.

I will thank you for my acct for the present1 year to wit to July 31. last past2 which shall be pd as soon as I can bring my affrs up to it with the aid of better prices for produce. Accept the assurance of my friendship & respect
