I have recd. your letter of the 9th. inst: & every disposition is felt to relieve you from the anxiety you express. But not being sure of the bearing of your proposition on the general security for the debt under the Covenant with Mr. Tapscott & Mr. Bell, I have communicated your letter to Mr. J H Lee who will be disposed to afford every accommodation that the case will admit. With this reference to him, I tender you my respects & good wishes.
