The time has been so short and the Court coming on prevents me from Obtaining any other information but that of my own knowledge. I hope it may be Sufficient, but if not, I presume the chancelor will not precipitate the tryal, And by the Next term every thing necessary from this Quarter, should it be Wanted, Will be cheerfully forwarded—please drop me a line on the occasion, Also some of the latest European inteligence such as you may deem proper to communicate.
