I returned from my Circuit yesterday after an absence of 3 months wanting as many days.

     My Cook having eloped during my absence, I am left perfectly destitute.

I wrote you a long letter soon after my return home in June, which I hope got safe to hand.

     I wish I could give you the Satisfaction you wish as to the time when your case will be finally decided.

     I am Just setting off to Fredg & have only time to enclose you with a N. Subpa, which please have delivered to the proper Shf.

I find that the Judiciary bill is postponed to the next Session, so that we shall have to ride the fall Circuits.

     I arrived here last Night from the City and being obliged on account of company to go on before the bank opens I have requested Mr Riddle to call upon for a check for $875 my last quarter's.

Before I proceed to business, I must account for my long but involuntary silence.

Altho I have been at home upwards of six weeks, yet this is the first day when it has been in my power to write to you.

Your letter of the 11th July found me upon a bed of sickness, from which I was not very soon relieved.

I owe you an apology for not having returned an earlier answer to your letter of the 20th June.

Your letter would have been sooner answered if I had not known that you had Courts to attend which would detain you for some time from home.… Continue Reading To Joseph Story, 27 Nov. 1825
