I have taken the liberty to avail myself of the early part of this interval to mention a circumstance...

Wednesday 13. Dined at Mr. Clymers & drank Tea there. Spent the evening at Mr. Bing[h]ams.
I am favoured with yours of the 10th. Instant and thank you for it. Be good enough to pay Major George Turner, if he is still in the City, £4.5.6 Pensylvania Currency, and, at your leisure, send me the balance of the 100 dollars by some freind who may be coming here.

Your Excellences Letter of the 8th of Aprill I had the Honour to receive but yesterday, (owing to my living at present 6 miles from Town, upon a Plantation I lately purchased.) By Your Excells, answer to my Proposalls—I find that it would be difficult to persuade the Gentlemen; in Virginia to enter into a Contract or Subscribtion to bring over a large Number of Germans which was My object when...
Your favor of the 28th. of April, the first I have recd. from you, has but just come to hand. It gave me the first information of the indisposition of my Father. I hope he has since fully recovered, and flatter myself the more that this is the case, as you or some one else would not have left me so long unapprized of the Contrary. I was disappointed at the arrival of 8 Hhds only. Tobo. only of...
