The day before I left Philadelphia, Mr Tilghman & Mr Rawle called at my room with the papers in the Suit of Tatham agt you that I might have an opportunity to consider the case & make a decree during the vacation.
Your favor enclosing the residue of the examination in the case of Fries I received upon my arrival at this place, the former having come to hand a few days sooner. I know not how to apologize to you for the trouble you have taken upon this occasion; I certainly should not have made the request which produced it, if I could have formed the slightest idea of the labor to which I was about to expose you. I beg you to accept my warmest thanks, and upon similar occasions or otherwise to command my services.
