This will be handed to you by Capt. Washington. I have lately been apply’d to by Mr Chs Carter (who was a Fellow Student with my Son Burges who died with the Fever in Philadelphia) for a Ballance due him for monies paid for my Son. Since his application I’ve found a Letter of his acknowledging the rect of money from Mr Dandridge, & mentioning that “he had then paid off the last Accot.” I think in the year 94 I drew an order on you for 25 dollars. I shall be obliged to you if you’ll send me by Capt.

Fanny goes Home for a few days to see how things are going on there.2 There has been a dry spell on the Corn, and without rain very soon, the Crops will be greatly curtail’d. The Old Lady here has been very sick, but is mending a little.3 With best Wishes for you & yours, I am Dr sir Yr Affect. Hbe servt
