with pleasure I take this oppertunity to inform you that I am in good helth, Hooping these fiew lines may finde you injoying the same blessing— I have nothing of importence to inform you of at the preasentt time, Only I have¹ not yet got that mony you sente me and I have received your letter which gave me grate Satdisfaction to heare from you.

This is to inform your Honour that I am now living in this County near the great road leading from Lexington to the mouth of Hickman Creek. That I am happily rescued from the clutches of Davis & his wife, and that they are justly hanged for their crime in stealing me away, and cutting open my head. The wound which I received in the head and arm are healed and I am at this time fat and well and weigh 164 lbs. Remember me to my mother Sisters and brothers, and send for me as soon as possible, that I may come and receive the money & negroes which you have for me.
