Since the 2 of November last I have repetedly solicited a settlement of my worke with the Proctor, of this fact, their is evidence—on yesterday I renewed the subject again when he positively refused to do any thing with it—and decleared that I should not receive one cent of pay until it suted him to give it—I am advised to make an appeale to Mr Jefferson and to give a statement of the Condition of my worke which will be seen in the following memorandum—

Pavilion 1—finished inside, except the handrail which is redy and will be finished in one day when I receive the Locks and Hinges to complete the doors—

The 4 dormitories ajoining finished and have been occupied during the summer—the Closet doors are unhung—Hotel A east finished complete one week before the meteing of the bord of visitors—locks & hinges wanting and have been repeetedly asked for—

The 9 Dormitories, the floors are all finished and the inside worke nearely all prepared—all the sashes for these ware made in June last and those for the Hotel made in the month of may, not one of them Glaized—

Hotel A, West, all the sashes glaized and fited compleet, the cornice all prepared and the archetreves for the windows and door insid nearly done and the shingling bords suffitient to compleet the roofs of 2 Dormitories & Piaza of Hotel prepared ++ the scantling for the raseing floore and roof of this house is not yet received, but has been pressed for with all the force I posses I am redy to pledge myself that the finished work will exceed the sum of six thousand dollars by the Proctors own measurement—

admit the lowest sum of		$6000	–
ad to this sum an account due to me since the years 19 & 20, for Lumber waggonage horse hire, Kiln drying, Plank and Cash advanced the sum of		221	=37
		$6221	– 37
Total sum received		2309	=94
		$3911	=43

From 2½ to 3 days would be suffitient time to measure and estimate all my worke that is finished & unfinished the working draughts being redy at hand—as it would require some time for the Arbitrators to meete I perposed theare appointment first to be done, then to prepare the estimate of worke and lay that which may be in dispute before them—that you sir will direct the course to be pursued in this business and in the mean time permit me to have a little money as I am in grate neede sincearely hoped for—
