Since my return from Phila. I received your letter of the 25 August. In consequence of funds having come to the hands of the executors for distribution, the balance due from you is reduced to the sum of only $527.71 with interest from the 22d of last month. It affords me, I assure you, great pleasure to give you this information since I can hardly suppose that it can greatly embarrass you to raise so small a sum.
