I have not recd a line from you since yours of the 7th altho I have with infinite anxiety sent to Alexa. in the hope of recieving a letter to inform me what was done on the 11th as to the adjournment of the Court. Mrs Washington has not even yet recovered her strength, but it was our intention at least to set out on our Journey & to endeavour to perform it by slow rides in case you had informed me that the adjournment was to any day in this month. But from your Silence I took it for granted that the adjournment was to the Spring, and I accordingly discharged the Hack yesterday which has been here since the 20th Sept.

I write in great haste & have only to request in conclusion that you will have the goodness to write me immediately by post & to believe me My dear Sir most sincerely yr friend & affect. Servt
