I have recd. your letter of & with it a copy of the 3d. Vol of the Anual Register.

It is with much concern that I find myself agn. detained by the infirm State of my health from the duty of being in my place at a Meeting of the Visitors.

I inclose two receipts entitling me to $ for Gunstocks delivered at Fredg. The no. is considerably short of what was contracted for but I understood, the Dept. did not require the full number. A good many of them were delivered a long time ago, but I waited till I could draw for the whole at once, & lessen your trouble as well as mine. I wish now to receive the money as soon as may be, and I...
