Sir,
By this morning’s post I had the honor of sending you the third and final volume of the New Universal and Pronouncing Dictionary of the French and English Languages—I have not yet succeeded in finding Evanson’s book—As soon as I received the 150 dollars from Mr. Gibson, I immediately went to settle your account with Mr. Bradford, at whose house I was given the enclosed receipt. The other people will be paid as soon as they present themselves
I am with the profound respect which is your due
