I am sending you a protested bill of exchange for £206.15.8 stg. Paid £110. I have applied for it several times. My necessity obliges me to bring suit. Please send to the clerk of the court for a writ. I shall not be able to come to court. I hope this will get the debt from Colonel Archibald Cary.

Am not able to come to my trial. Please take 3 dollars out of the money that James Vest is to pay today.

When I saw you at Mr. Shore's you promised me if you had any bacon to spare, you would send it. Please let me know.

Captain William Pennock refused payment of the bill. Said the drawer of the bill was now in the country and the effects in his hands had already been attached. I am detained from setting off for the north because of lack of money. If you can spare any please send me some.

Plans trip to south this fall and wants to know when he can expect £30 from Tucker. Vacation begins as usual on 24th next month (October). Boys are well.

"Mr. Dosmont has brought suit against Mr. Wright. In March 1781 when I broke up housekeeping at the tavern, Mr. Dosmont was indebted to me. Mr. Wright was indebted to him about £5,000. I desired Mr. Wright to give an order on me. Dosmont has not brought suit."

I am not able to ride to court. Mr. Richard Blow was summoned. Should the cause come up, let me know and I will attend.

I have searched over the papers of John Ruffinque and find no suit or bond to Cole. The exo. you ordered in John Tabb v. Francis Dabney I believe is a mistake. I can find no such suit on my docket.

Have you done any thing with Mr. Burke's note. I am pressed for money. How do you like the dounty court practice. I despise it so that I have half a mind to turn itinerant preacher.

Requests him to have witnesses of breaking of Chesterfield prison to attend on 2nd day of next court. Is irregular to issue subpoenas in a prosecution not yet possessed by court. Witnesses will be paid although not summoned. Sent the subpoenas desired in suits against    Page. Endorsed: Of no consequence.

According to your directions I have made a list of the stock of cattle and hogs at present. There are upwards of sixty head great and small hogs. There are twenty head of cattle. There are twenty hogs fit to fatten. The wheat is lying in the chaff.

I asked Colonel Holscombe to pay the tobacco I owe you. He said you were indebted to him. Please send me a receipt for that tobacco.
