I recd your favor of the 10th during my confinement under a severe attack of the Pleuresy— I am now on the recovery, tho’ very weak, nor have I yet left my room.

     The deed you wrote for is now enclosed, but I find it was not recorded within the time prescribed by Law.

     Nancy Joins me in Love to yourself & my Aunt— Believe me to be very sincerely My dear Uncle Your Affect. Nephew & much obliged Servt
