I was happy to see you so well, when I had the Honor of your last visit at Manchester, I went to Richmond the next day to have waited on you, but found you were engaged in business of importance.

I expected you would have made me a further payment as I had every reason to expect it as I had informed you I was in distress for money. I am sorry you should make me the last. I want the money for my own private use and my not getting it is very distressing to me. I expected on your return from the Government you would1 have cleared scores, as it is excessively disagreeable for me to be troubling you, on this subject. I particularly want, that the debt due for Richard Harvie decd should be paid off, as my getting that money would settle several accounts on my books, that stand open till I receive, pray be good enough to order that bond to be taken up, I am sorry indeed that you should make the payments to me depend on what you can spare from your Crops do pray let your assumpsit for Richd Harvie & Cos debet be paid off without loss of time. I am & have been very unwell for some time past, and can hardly see to write. I am obliged to rule this, that you may be able to read it. I shall expect to hear, favourable from you, and am with the greatest Regard
