Sir

At the moment your son called on me with your note on behalf of the Fire ensurance company, I was not able to send an answer in writing. the fact is that I stand engaged to make a large paiment for corn on our next court day, and am obliged therefore to reserve for that every thing I can collect in the mean time. after that day the requisition of the insurance company shall be attended to among my first reciepts. accept the assurances of my esteem & respect
