&lt;p&gt;Williamsburg December . 22&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt;. 1790&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have just returned from Richmond and&lt;br /&gt;received your letter and assure you am much surprised as well as concern&lt;br /&gt;ed at the contents. you may inform M&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt; Norton that the report which has&lt;br /&gt;reached &lt;sup&gt;him&lt;/sup&gt; is altogether without foundation, nor can I imagine how it&lt;br /&gt;cou'd have originated, had my father objected to the Union I shou'd most&lt;br /&gt;certainly have informed him of long since. My father is averse to my marry&lt;br /&gt;ing as soon as I wish, he thinks it wou'd have been to my advantage to&lt;br /&gt;have waited a few years longer before I engaged myself; but he thinks&lt;br /&gt;my choice is as good a one as I cou'd have made, and has not the&lt;br /&gt;smallest objection on that head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am dear sir&lt;br /&gt;yours respectfully&lt;br /&gt;Warner Lewis Jun&lt;sup&gt;r&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Pages 2 and 3, blank]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1/5             B&lt;/p&gt;
