I recieved your favor covering mr Ross’s last observations, some time before I left home. a great deal of business pressing on me at that time, as preparatory to my departure for this place, I was unable to attend to this at all. I have taken the first leisure moment I had here, to consider these last observations. we differ in a fact, no further material than as explanatory of the state of things at a particular moment. that there may be an end to this [dispute?], I am contented the case should proceed to arbitration without further addition on my part. my thanks to you for the trouble you take in this business, and assurances of all possible esteem & attachment from Dear Sir

Your friend & servt
