To William F. Gray
Ocr. 12. 1823
Dr Sir
I have a remittance of $ 154.04 to make to E. Copeland jr: of Boston for a few Articles which have been forwarded to me.1 Should it happen to coincide with any remittance of your own to Boston, may I ask the favor of you to include that sum, wch shall be immediately sent down to you: you may at the same time mention my debt to yourself, which I will take the occasion of paying. The Bank notes I have on hand may not answer for Boston, and I am out of the way of procuring a bill of exchange, shd. such be attainable.
Draft (DLC).
1. See Dodge & Oxnard to JM, 5 July 1823, and Elisha Copeland Jr. to JM, 6 and 27 Sept. 1823.
