<p>Enfield - March 21<sup>st</sup>- 1794_</p>
<p>Dear Sir,</p>
<p>Some years ago I wrote you a letter inclosing<br />a copy of an account between you & my father's estate, & received from<br />you an answer consenting to pay it, if I would deduct the charge<br />of interest during the war. In a subsequent letter, I told you, that<br />altho I could see no reason for the deduction in a case between two<br />citizens of the same country, & was at a loss to discover upon what<br />principle a debt subsisting betwee two persons of the same State, &<br />who could therefore have never been in a hostile relation to each<br />other, ought to be affected by a war between their common country<br />& another State, & altho I have myself paid interest in the same<br />situation, yet if this remission has been the general practice, & if you<br />yourself have admited the rule in your several negotiations, I would<br />without hesitation agree to close with your proposal - Since writing<br />this last letter a considerable time has elapsed without my hearing<br />any thing farther from you, from which I conclude that the<br />letter by some mischance has never come to your hands - Being here<br />so much nearer to your residence, than when at home, & having on that<br />account a better chance of a safe conveyance, I write now to repeat what<br />I then said -</p>
<p>Before you left W<sup>m</sup>burg I had lent to M<sup>rs</sup> Norton, my<br />uncle M<sup>r</sup>. Commissary Blair's 4 volumes of sermons, which have not<br />been returned - If they be still in your house, & any good opportunity<br />should offer of sending them to this place, or to W<sup>ms</sup>burg, You will oblige<br />me by embracing it - With sincere wishes for your health & prosperity,<br />I am, dear Sir,<br />Your friend & servant<br />John Blair</p>
