Finding it necessary to obtain a remittance from home, and not wishing if it can be avoided to trust bank notes by post, I have taken the liberty to enclose you a check on the bank for $200 which I presume is considerably within the sum to my credit there, and if you can procure a bill on Phila, at sight, and such as will certainly be paid, I will thank you to send me such a one—if such cannot be obtained, I should prefer two post notes for the amount.

     I will thank you to inform me if the sum which Mr Lee was authorised to draw for is placed to my credit with the bank. sincerely & respectfully yrs

     I send to town today principally on account of the order on the Cashier of the Bank, which I omitted to send you sooner— It is now enclosed.

     I enclose you my note negotiable at the bank for $875 which you will much oblige me by getting discounted on Monday next when I expect to be in Alexandria. I will then give you the necessary draft on the bank of the U.S. I am very sincerely yrs

     I must again beg the favor of you to get the enclosed note discounted for me at the bank. I expect to have the pleasure of seeing you in the course of four or five days when I can give you the necessary draft on the Cashier of the bank of the U.S.

     I recd your letter on my way to the Stage office, and look'd over the record the same evening—thinking that I had been concerned in the cause in the County Court. I considered it improper to undertake the business in the Court of chancery and therefore sent it with your letter & the fee to Mr Campbell, Marshall being out of Town. I presume you will hear from him by the next stage—tho' I do not imagine that he can do anything for Mr Turly.
