Have bin down to Richmond to se if I could ingage a job of work before I movd. my tools, but have bin unsucsesful in the trip; Conl. Harvy, did not now of any opening that I would. be likey. to fall into Business at the present, but thot probebell something might offer in the spring.

I should. be very glad to work for Conl. Matison for reasons my pay would. be sertain and when done should. have a small capital to begin on, and at the same time should. attend to any opening that might offer at Richmond.

I moast seriously regret being out of imployment, for it is my wish never to spend time in indelence whilst am able to earn a shilling in an honest way, whatever is now disadvantageous to my self, I pray to Heaven to bless my enemeys with, and grant to them injoyment of contience.

With respect I have the Honour to be, Sir, Your Obt. Servt.
