To Lawrence Lewis

My Dear Sir

     you proposed sharing with me in furnishing the bearer with clothes. These I have provided for her amounting to about $4.66.— If you can conveniently furnish her this year or 'till she can be got under the care of the overseers of the poor, with meal or Corn as your mill it will be about equal to the clothes. I propose this on account of her wandering life & my long absences from home to prevent her from suffering from her allowance not being regularly sent for. I am very truly My dear Sir very affectly yrs
