Kegatank 10th April 1806
Dear Charles
Your last was for Capt. Coleburn which got to hand after a Short passage gave the pleasant information of the good heath of yourself and household and the flattering appearance of your dear little daughter. We are all here in good health at least as much so as usual, and perhaps rather more so. I advised Major Wilson of your enquiry as to his wish respecting the [drfs] in your hands and presume he has written to you. If he has not, I think it will be as well to return them and then he can have no apology for the postponement of the ballance to me. Yesterday the Fatherinlaw of my two nephews at Princetown Colledge, James and Edwin Teackle mentioned to me, That the boys he had Just leard stood in need of a little money. I will take it kind in you to foward in a letter to James Teackle One hundred dollars for their occution and which may arrive late. Mr. Read sends them supplys by a neighbouring Vessell which takes his grain to Markett, the $100 will be charged to me. On the 12 Inst my neighbour Conquest Scooner will be ready to sail for your port by her your mother and sisters will write to your family and In her, I shall send the 2 doz hams for Mr Guest. Same for you and the oats I mentiond in my last, I mention these things lest you supply any
