Your favor of Nov. is recieved. my crop of tobacco of the last year’s growth was sold in April. that lately severed will be small; the crop of tobacco this year being generally short. mine will not be half a one. I fear too the quality will be indifferent; at least that was the expectation when I was at home in September. in that case I always sell in Richmond where they are less1 anxious about quality. should it turn out better than was expected, you shall have the offer of it. I congratulate you on the return of peace. it removes out of our way the only rock of which I had any apprehension. I hope we have now a prospect of leisure & opportunity to pay our debts & reduce our taxes. accept assurances of my esteem & respect.
