or any of their relations
I have just been at some
containing some of my
and my at
the time so much
of a grudge as the parties first above written
I thought to transmit the same to you
But I sincerely hope that it wont prove fatal
for I don’t know what I
Wer it not for you but you can
read it a little at a time or neither
in small not to often
remembering that of better than
a pound of cure
On Wednesday 25
th/I wrote to you
promising to write again the next
I heard nothing from you sooner for it did
not un today weeks
later I am trying in my war to
fulfill my made in weakness
within a week of time. But I hope
you will my next week
for weakness it must surely be that
me to write to much receiving
nothing in return But write
might that it may no more
just that I should offer an
for troubling you so much and
accordingly I will state that
suggest that perhaps wer it not
for the act that I had some litile
interest in that country I
should not be so anxious to hear from
Claremont But of that
that point today But the thought
to me that perhaps there is a
reason for your failure to connect
pehaps your pontoons did not come
up or you was not reinforced
or again perhaps perhaps Perhaps
You didnt want to or words to that effect
But as I can think of nothing more to
write that I think would not be of interest
to you I will Subscribe myself as I
have the to be your most
servt
