I have at length moved my Lodgings and find myself placed in the most disagreable situation that I ever expected to be— The British people whose House I have left mean to detain the articles I have there untill payment is made, and I have reason from their threats last night to apprehend the worst which my situation & the advantage it has given them over me can warrant— I have no chance to save myself from what my Sensibility abhors, but the performance of your oblidging promise— I had no way left me to appease them for a moment, but by promising to pay them to Day, even if I should be oblidged to sell my cloaths for that purpose— I shall write to two Merchants who have promised to supply me from Virginia, who together with the Hemp I every moment expect will enable me I hope to pay you in a very short time— In short so great is my distress that there is no Terms which generosity could dictate that I would not subscribe to, and would with pleasure sacrifice pecuniary inte[res]t, to save the wounds of Feeling— The Sum which I owe these people is about £35— I am in hopes that remittances from Virginia will come to prevent me from being in a similar situation with my other Creditors— If you can furnish me with the above Sum I will immediately wait on you to Recieve it. I am with Esteem Dr Sir Your obt Humble Servant
