I have just recd your letter of the 25th—Perry’s bond, on which you were to pay me money, was put into my hands for collection; it was expected by the holder that I should have to travel through a course of law, before the money could be gotten—the arrangement made with you brings it earlier than a suit could have done—I suppose therefore, that I may with propriety give the time you wish—& I...

The enclosed note was deliverd. to me by Mr Kinney at our last Court,—with a request that I would either shew it to you, or from it, make a verbal statement of the facts.

By todays mail, I recd. a letter from Mr Thomas L. Preston, of Rockbridge, mentioning that he had written to you in recommendation of a young Gentleman who had applied for a Lieutenancy. as Mr Preston had no personal acquaintance with you, he wished me to state what reliance might be had in his representations—with Mr Preston’s family I presume you are not entirely unacquainted—they are among...
