From Samuel Garland
Lynchburg Aug. 1. 1822
Sir
For your conveniance I some time past inclosed your bond (to the late A Robertson & Co of this place)—to my friend Mr Wm Barret of Richmond, he advised me that you had proposed paying the amount in instalments at the end of every six months (if I am not mistaken) untill the whole was paid, Mr B. has made me no remitance on that account for a long time—Mr Miller to whom this debt is going is exceedingly pressing upon me to close his collections, I beg Sir to call this subject to your attention— Most Respy
S. Garland
