I had the pleasure to receive your Letter of the 7th by Mr. Eddie on fryday morning, but not early enough to answer you with propriety by that post.

It is with reluctance I intrude upon your time, but I feel so interested in what has lately passed at Phia. that I cannot refrain indulging myself with some conversation with you on the subject.
