Dear Sir,

I am much obliged to you for the estimate
you was so good as to send me by capt. Robinson,
which I recieved this morning. The articles ex-
ceed what I can afford; and therefore I shall con-
tent myself without most of them, if not all. My
friend J. H. N. was at our house two days
since, and seemed to be in good health. I am

Your well wisher,
and humble servant
G. Wythe.
