It is all important to me that you should give every attention to Collins’ suit before you leave town & that I should hear from you without delay the final result of your endeavors— I have your ltr by return of my express with a notice that on the second day of the July court which is next tuesday a motion will be made agst me in consequence of the office judgmt.

     I find that it is a practice in the county courts to stop the business in that stage & grant a new trial if it appears from the case right to do— how you know that because Mr Marshal was not spoken to, no defence was made.

     I was barred from proving the indictions of my assumpsit to Collins.

     Could I have been admitted to produce this proof I must have succeeded.

     If Mr Wythe will not grant the injunction, I entreat you to attend the court ont he second day & see what you can do with the court— A trial on your part for me will give you but little trouble & will if you succeed releive me.

     It is cruel that after giving up to aid an old man represented to me as worthy & <?> 10/a the found to secure his debt, I should be subject to costs disgrace & other enquiry by his violation of the conditions on which I agreed to pay him.

     I think a full statement to the court from you will succeed.

     Should it not give the enclosed ltr to Mr Hopkins who will I hope negotiate the payment for me. yrs always
