Dr Sr

I reciev'd your Favour
the other Day & the Books came safe to Hand.
I have paid to the Treasurer your Demand against me
except as to the Interest; which coud not be settled till I
saw your Son, & this I expect will be in a few Days.
I have wrote to Worral to send me in whatever is new
in the Law as it comes out, & you will oblige me much
to pay him his Demand. Your Money shall always
be sent by the Return of the Ship, tho in a little Time
I hope I hope to correspond with you upon another
Footing.

I am Dr Sr
Your very obed Servt
