On or before August 20th, I will have a large supply of fine wheat. Within a few days, I can supply you with fine flour and bread.

After taking inventory of all the tobacco in the warehouses and comparing it with the book, we found how your hogshead was lost. Phineas Glover had a hogshead inspected the day yours came in. There was a hogshead of yours weighed and booked to him. Then his was weighed and booked to him too.

Enclosed is a letter from Beverley Randolph (1787 August 2) relative to the payment of £23.4.5 which is on the first payment to Mr. Pollard. Is the suit against Davie settled?

I want the sum of 23.4.5 in the hands of Captain Pennock who I am informed is indebted to you for that amount. Can you allow Captain Pennock a credit for this sum? Why didn't you come to Chatsworth last week.

Grieved at news received in letter by Colonel Carrington. Encloses letter to Bermuda and to college friends. Is busy getting into a higher class by the next examination.

The small quantity of bread and flour you want can be made shortly after the wheat arrives. I am glad you are going to Gloucester. Would you do some business for me while you are there. If you can get some staves, please have them put on the Emily.

Agreeable to your request I have sent you four guineas and three cut half dollars. Sent an express to Miles King so I will know if you can get the staves.

I am not at liberty to take the bread and flour as I have not any such instructions from the gentlemen. I hope you can make the payment when I am up.

The schooner arrived three days ago. When she leaves, I will set out for Matoax.

I understand Phillip Holcomb is to leave the business of Colonel Randolph's estate. If you think proper I will undertake it as the quarters are near me. I can come down to see you.

I wrote Mr. Lee and if the 2nd and 3rd installments are well secured, it will be unnecessary to retain the deed. From the first payment deduct what is due you.

We have just received a letter from Samuel Hollingsworth in Baltimore. He said it was necessary to have a copy of the verdict obtained by his attorney in the county court before the answer to the bill of injunction can be had. Please send us a copy of the verdict and we will convey it to Mr. Hollingsworth.

Please pay Phillip Johnson, one of the overseers on Mr. Randolph's estate, £83.2.8 in lieu of his crop of tobacco made on the estate.

Please pay Reuben Johnson, one of the overseers on Mr. Randolph's estate £78.5.53/4 in lieu of his share of the crop of tobacco.

You said it would be proper to make application to the next assembly for liberty to the courts to grant administration on producing such copy of the wills of persons dying abroad.

Please furnish me with a memo of the debt and costs of the bond put in your hands by me for my father versus Broadnax's estate. I believe Mr. Gregory will settle it.

I have just received a copy of Robertson's bill in Chancery against the executors of Parson Wilkinson. I am sending it to you with the account of the executors, two letters, and other papers respecting his marriage in England and a copy of his will. His brother thinks that the Parson's widow in England should not know about his marriage here.

I have obtained a subpoena and injunction against Osborne. Please advise me about the sale of the estate of my testator.

I have tried to prevail on the gentlemen concerned to adjust the accounts existing between Messrs. Pleasants, Shore, and Company and Messrs. Ross, Shore and Company. I proposed to Mr. Pleasants to state the account as it may appear to him just and then forward it to me for examination and the investigation of the Company.

Thank you for forwarding my letter to Withers. I condole with you on the death of your worthy father. Would you accept my power of attorney?

Am enclosing all the injunctions which I procured from the Clerks office except those served in Henrico which I delivered to Charles Hay.

I cannot procure the goods as I have to go to Hatchers Run on business. Order it from Messrs. Freeland and Lenox.
