I am sorry it has not been in my power to Wait on you agreeable to my promise to Mr Griffin.

The Boy brings you a Letter from Mr McCleland advising, I believe, that he has Changed the Day for Trying the Title of the Land to Friday; on which Day if possible I will meet you—If the Jury Should Declare the Land yours, I would Suggest the propriety of your having somebody ready to put in possession, as I have no Doubt but Scott (who puts all Law at Defiance) will Endeavor to regain it, Immideately, by force—

I Shall hold myself ready to make the first paymt if I am advis’d, it would be right, under the Incumbrance, to do So.—
