[if therefore] you will be so good as to make a statement of our accounts and [paiments] so as to arrive in Philadelphia after th[…] […] it will find me there and I shall take care immediately to [replace] it. I expect to set out about [the 14th.] or 15th. with respect [to the balance] of [43/] due to Picket Pollard & Johnston [I do] not know of it, […] I have no doubt it is [so.] I therefore […] you to pay it.
