Yours of the 25th curt, covering blanks for the renewal of your notes at Bank, have been received, & shall be attended to—

I hold William Dabuey’s receipt, dated 22d July 1823, for six Barrels of Herrings, and one of Shad, which he binds himself to deliver in good order to you, at Monticello:—What can have become of him, & the Fish, I cannot conjecture, it is not improbable however, that he has stored them some where on the River, until the water, & his other arrangements, may suit to cary them up without inconvenience to himself, for which he certainly should be held accountable—

I will make dilligent search for a good New England cheese for you, if I succeed, will immediately forward it, by a Waggon, to Charlottesville, care Raphael, of which you shall be also advised—
