I have within the course of 3 weeks past finished a hot house the body of brick & covered with wood within a few feet of the Green house & quarters insured in the mutual insurance Office, the Size 32 feet long & 16 wide. It has Just occurred to me that possibly this circumstance ought to be reported to the office, that in case any additional premium on the property already insured should be thereby demandable, or may be paid.

     Your letter of the 9th I recd a day or two ago. From one recd from Mr Hopkins I have no doubt that the mony was paid to the Cashier of the Company & when he comes up which I expect w[i]ll be by the time I return from Jefferson (say 10, or 12 days) I will get the cashiers rect & forward it to you. If from any circumstance it has not been paid, I will immediately after knowing this to be the case, remit the mony in some safe way, or procure a draft on yr town.
