Your favour of the 6 th which I duly rec d is before me.

Your favour of the 29 th ult. I have duly rec d . It is now before me. The fifteen Dollars enclosed are duly carried to your credit. The Religious Olive Branch is not yet fairly begun.

Were they not, generally, deeply in debt? Was not the balance as generally...
