Dear Sir
Presuming you will come to the district court, I will ask the favor of you to call & pass an evening with me. there is a subject, interesting to us both, on which I would ask a conversation. perhaps, in addition to this circumstance, you may have a curiosity to ride & see my mills. hoping therefore the pleasure of your company I tender you my friendly salutations & assurances of esteem.
