Appears to be a draft.

Imagine how difficult to be a writer back in those days.

Ouch

 

"When you are headed against myself

was handed to me

I know nothing of that headed against Col. Randolph,

or I should have given the order for both at the same time

The call on me by a young gentleman from your shore [?]

occasioned me to inquire and to learn that the other had been handed to Col Randolph

I take this on myself

and I did everything not R gets which had better thererfore belong to you at [something. if I knew the ccontext it would help]

but in the meantime Col. Peylon beng left riches

I cannot draw until his return

which will be about this day week

before which I understand you will be gone

I have therefore spoken to my grandson

Thomas A. R.

who thinks he can procure the money

Thenwise to be replaced by me within a very few days

And I hope he will do it

should he not

can you advise how I may give you

the avails of it after your departure

should that be defined 3 or [smudge] days (probably 4)

I can finish it ["the amount" (crossed out)] myself.

 

You are so kind to take on a box containing my copying machine.

Would you be so good as to have it delivered to Mr. Peale immediately on your arrival at Philidelphia

informing him at the same time of your lodging and stay.

because he would repair it in time to return it in like manner under your care

I have written to him by mail

while I am without it my (guarantee?)

If writing is exactly doubled, which oppresses me much

I must request you also to pay him the charge for the repairs which will be trifling

I salute you with wishes ("esteem and respect" crossed out) for a pleasant journey

(VICHUM ? latin?)
