Having to pay a sum of money at our ensuing court (the 7th. inst.) I am obliged to muster up all my resources. if you have any thing for me for nails sold, I should thank you to remit it. if nobody should be coming from your place to our court, I will send express for it a day or two after, if the sum should be worth while.

I thank you for your readiness in offering to furnish her had she needed it; and am with esteem Sir Your most obedt. humble servt
