By an arrangement with your brother Edward, $2000 were to be placed by him to my Credt in the Bank of Virginia. Mr. Rutherfoord informs me that this has in effect been done and I inclose my bond for that sum which your brother desired might be forwarded to you. It was understood that a moi[e]ty of it accrues to his Sister Betsey, and if his arrangemt. with her, does not make it appear to be the case, I shall readily substitute for the bond executed a separate bond for each.

It appears that your brother underrated his Stock, in settling the amount of its proceeds with me. The inclosed check for $16. repays the balances due to him. With affece. esteem
