In consequence of the death of Mr Henderson, it becomes my duty, to affirm you, of the period of annual Meeting, of the Dismal Swamp Land Company, which is fixed on the 15th present Month. Should you not be enabled personally to attend, you will be so good as appoint an agent, or attorney whose power must be presented to the board, and should you desire it, I will cheerfully represent you in the meeting.

     Sound subjects consulted with the prosperity of the company will be agitated, and your presence would be pacifying to the members. with high respect and esteem I am Sir, yr ob. Srvt
