I intended to pay you a visit this past week. I expect Donald Campbell here sometime this month. Family in Bermuda well.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Your brother Tommy expects to be here soon. Your young gentleman is very well. He is diligent at his school work.

Our soil is still barren. If we succeed in getting a free port, I hope we all will be employed. We hear the American commercial negotiations with Great Britain will meet the early attention of the British parliament. Our governor has been instructed by Lord Sydney, one of the secretaries of state, to pay strict attention to the King's proclamation and to prevent an intercourse with America and the West Indies.

I hope you will come with Captain Morgan. As Morgan can not bring the horses, maybe you could send them by Harvey.

I have just returned from Springfield where I settled with Colonel Bland the business relative to the legacy of Negroes left to Mrs. Dudley by her grandfather.

I received the commission and am returning it. The life of a private is much happier.

Will be in Richmond again on 18th as elder of the church. Is sending this by Tucker's son Dick (Richard Randolph). He was in a female habit on the stage and should be an actress. Is setting out for home.

Am sending the original and one copy of the papers. When shall I send for the bill. Can you make any use of a loan office certficate for 80£ with 2 years interest.

I am sending you a copy of a letter from Mr. Texier. I hope you will be able to remove the objections.

What a variety of subjects we will have to discuss when we meet. You will have all of Brother Natty's performances to read. Please bring all your productions too.

I have tried to consult you on what conduct would be best in the sale of the property advertised by my brother, William.

In March 1782, a complaint was lodged with the court of Chesterfield against Ralph Crawford Anderson and David Crawley by executors of Claiborne Anderson by George Markham executor of John Anderson and by Mary and Ann Anderson. A decree of court was filed by which they were to deliver the estate to the complaints of their guardians. They have only in part complied. We have not been able to get a settlement. Will you take further steps?

Please let me know about the matter in your hands. Worsham's estate had me charged with £5 which I never received.

Requests him to have enclosed subpoenas filled with names of witnesses and served. Believes request is justified by previous correspondence. Five lines of legal notes.

I think Captain Stratton will fall in debt both to John Calder and Company and John Osborne. I am apprehensive he may push for a trial in my absence. Please prevent this.
