To Lawrence Lewis
30th 1826
my dear sir
I wrote to Mr Moore for his statement of Ransoms debt, & recieved for answer that Ransoms statement was correct provided he is entitled to $897 paid the commissioners. This is quite a new item to me which I do not understand. Will you be so good as to send me that Statement by the bearer that I may examine it? I am anxious to know what sum to debit you with on that account, & also affix the value of the bank stock that we must do tomorrow in town, <illegible> I can make the transfers <mutilated> you. yrs affectly
