Gentlemen,
For the want of time I have not made out a copy of my acct current with the University of Va I must refer you to the book in which it is kept lying before for a statement of it, a copy of which shall be furnished hereafter—the accts of all the undertakers have been adjusted & settled except four viz James Oldhams, and John Neilsons, Carpenters & Joiners Joseph Antrim, Plasterer, and Edward Lowber, undertaker of the Painting, the Bills of Oldham & Neilson1 have not been settled because we differ about the prices of work the Plasterers2 & Painters Bills are not made out, I consider all the above named accounts as nearly paid off, the Balance sheet taken by Mr Dawson will show the balance due to Oldham & Neilson agreeable to my statement of their accts and the amt paid to Antrim, & Lowber on acct of the Plastering, and of the Painting, Glass & Glazing—I wish my accts to be examined & closed up to this time by a committee of your body and a report made there on I am Gentlemen
