Your favor of the 3 d is recieved and the 50.D. it covered. should there be difficulty in remitting the 97.D. to Alrichs & Dixon of Wilmington by a draught a Richmond bank bill of 100.D.

Your favor of the 9 th has been duly recieved, together with my account. by this I percieve that there does not remain enough in your hands to pay the 2000.D. into the bank which I so much wished. this has been occasioned by the deficiency of my tobacco crop before explained, and recently here by the short delivery of 140. barrels of flour due to me from the mills, and for which I see I must...

Randolph ’s for rent, being instead of so much of 55. Bar. formerly shipped for me, but their destination changed as noted in a former letter. I in my last I requested to hear from you on the discount of...
Your favor of the 9 th was recieved in due time. I do not know the exact date or amount of my note in the bank of Virginia , except that the latter is between 11. & 1200.D. I therefore inclose you a blank, hoping it is in time for renewal. I find myself so much declining by age and ill health in the attention and energy necessary for business that I am turning every thing over to my grandson...
Your favor of the 8 th is recieved with my acc t from July 10. to that day. these accounts alone enable me to settle my flour rents with those who owe them, and to know if they have delivered all which should be delivered. in proceeding to this examination for the last year, I am stopped short by a chasm in the acc ts which I possess from the 13 th of April to the 10 th of July. for this...

I have not yet heard whether the boats which left Milton on the 10 th of October have got to Richmond yet. they are not returned here, nor is there water enough in the river to float an empty boat. The Collector of Norfolk writes me
