I recd. this Morning your letter of the 4th. instant1 & instantly sent the one enclosed to Mrs Livingstons brother Anthony Barclay—2 On the 1st. instant I paid Mrs. Watkins $35 agreably to the Directions contained in your letter of the 27 April.3 And I have this day paid her $69 being the Interest recd. on Honeywells bond & $35 which you say you have recd. for her, making $104 for which I have taken Receipt. I have also paid Mr Munro $58.25 for Uncle Peter— The sums paid Sir James & Mrs F. Jay were each $58.25 there must have been a mistake of a figure in my last letter which I was obliged to write in great haste. I have agreed to put out $500 of Mrs Watkins’s Money to a Mr Roads at Somers—

The Result of the Election in the town of Westchester has not disappointed our friends here.4 I believe all was done that could be done— We have a Majority of 2— if I remember right there was a Majority of 10 against us the last Govrs. Election. Valentine Morris has been confined with the Gout these three Months— he does not yet leave his house— James is unwell & occasionally quite sick with the same Disease. Westchester like Mamaroneck is becoming a Manufacturing town & the Manufactures in each place are under Democratic Direction— How the Election throughout the County is ended I know not for though we have returns from every other County within 200 Miles, we have none from thence— It is certain however that Tompkins is re-elected— This is an event for which I am utterly unable to account— The old federal party remains entire but with scarce any addition to its Numbers. The Clintonian party I think no longer exists— Mr Clinton & perhaps a dozen More voted for us here— R. Riker & possibly 50 others did not vote at all— All the rest have gone back to the Maddisonians and voted against us. In this City I suspect that about 150 federalists friends of Radcliff voted against us— at least there is very strong Circumstantial Evidence of the fact—5

I am very happy to hear that Roe has recovered & that Nancy has been to Rye— My love to her & William We are all well—

I inclose my account to the 1st. instant. Today or tomorrow I shall receive the Rent of the Stone House I am my dear father Your very affect Son
