Princess Anne March 9th '13
My dear husband
The several letters named in yours have all come to hand with the two bills enclosed and a list of articles bought for me: also the two beans, for ale of which I thank you.
Mrs. Eyre and her good husband are here and permit me to say they will be in Phila on the 17th inst., where they will be happy to see you. I also feel anxious that you shoul’d go there, and hope I am not presuming on your knowledge of your own affairs in being solicitous that you shoul’d arrange your accounts with Mr. Guest. I am anxious to know on an adjustment, how the matter stands and whether your property here does come under his claims on you? Will you, my dear husband, if it is proper, I shoul’d be glad to ascertain whether you do owe him to the amount of this property under mortgage. Polk says now that he has no intention of forcibly or clandestinely entering on possession here, and that he is not such a fool as to attempt as he knows the law better. On this point, I am more at ease, and I did venture with my sister, after hearing this, to spend one night at Mrs. E. Wilson’s, where we dined. I wish you to write me on the subject of my above request.
