When I parted with You on Pohic You did not seem inclinable to take my Land there, and I have therefore been bargaining with Mr Henderson about it as I owe a debt to the Store in Alexandria: But as I did not know but what You might come to some Terms with Mr Mercer and in that case choose to purchase mine, I chose to wait till your return before I shewed the Land to Mr Henderson, that if you...
Doctor Savage tells me that it would be very convenient to him, if you cou’d pay the £150, which you have kindly offered to advance for me, and for which I return You Many Thanks, to him or to Mr Montgomerie at the Genl Court, when the Merchants meet, and has desired me to write to you for that Purose if it should be convenient. I did myself the pleasure to write to you a few days agoe: so...
The agreeable and long wished for News of the detachments under the Command of Major Muse and Capt. McKay having joined you in time to prevent the Success of any Attacks from the french was very satisfactory to me; whose mind was continually alarmed with the Apprehensions of your being forced to another battle when unprepared for it. The Triton arrived here the 22d with the two Companies from...
In Answer to your Enquiry I can scarce say whether I am alive or dead: I have been so long disorder’d both in Mind and Body that I am really between both. Disappointments in Love & repeated Colds have reduced me much; however tho’ I am sensible of the Follies of this Life I am no ways desirous of leaving them: I had rather bear the Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune than venture upon the...
I have disposed of the Kittocktan Tract to Mr Threlkeld for something more than you mentioned; but I would not have done it for £50 more if I had thought You wanted it and was not in immediate Want of Money. I shall be glad to know what Sort of Money You would choose to receive and at what Rates, and when You sett off to Williamsburg that if possible I may wait on You in Time. Our Compliments...
Having been twice lately at Alexandria, and the Business I am engaged in being liable to suffer much by my Absence, I hope I shall be excused for not attending at this Time. As it is necessary however for every one to give his Sentiments on this occasion, I beg Leave to address myself in this manner to You, Sir, as Chairman of the Meeting, and hope it will answer as well as if I were...
We have obtained a Judgement vs. Doctor Savage for the whole Sum that we expected, amounting to £600, and upwards. I have since spoke to Doctor Savage on the Matter. He now proposes to leave the Affair to Arbitration, alledging the Equity he might have in a Court of Chancery on Account of the Deed of Relinquishment entered into or executed by Mrs Savage before she left Virginia. I have told...
Having been travelling five days and not getting home till 11 oClock last night, I find myself & Horses rather too much fatigued to go to Court as I intended. Mr Montgomerie informed me at the last Court that he shd be up at this in order to have his power of Attorney fully proved—and I wrote to Colo. Mason last week desiring to be informed of the date of his Power of Attorney, the one to Mr...
I am about setting off for the Springs, & as I have very little time to spare, having been busy at my Meadow to day & been at the Mill & Great Falls, & having some other Letters to write this Evening, I hope you’l excuse the conciseness of this. As to the most material Business of Mrs Savages I have received a Letter also from Mr Bomford. On the Receipt of your Favor at Alexandria I went to Mr...
I am a little surprised that You had not received my Letter relating to Doctor Savage when You wrote to Mr Harrison. I wrote because it was necessary to consult You upon the occasion, tho’ I believed you would be no more inclinable than myself to agree to any Arbitration. It seems to me a very odd practice this of obtaining Injunctions out of Court when the Equity of it can’t appear...
