I thank you for the kind letter recieved of Oct. 14. before the reciept of that I had taken the liberty of sending a package of books to mr Millegan addressed to your care, which I had done on the authority of his assurance that you would be so kind as to see that they were forwarded. in a letter to me of the 12th he mentions having forwarded a package to me, which I presume is some where on the way—all charges of transportation of things for me to Milton will be paid to the Stage-driver by mr Higgenbotham at that place. mr Millegan will pay those to Georgetown. should there however happen to be occasion at any time for any payment at Fredericksbg, on a note from you of the amount it shall always be rep[aid] by return of mail. Accept the assurance of my thankf[ulness] and respect.
