Dear Charles
I have written you a hasty letter immediately after Henry got home to inform you thereof, and omitted to say that the piece of Cloath, and Book were safely received, as was the very excellent Cheese you were so Kind as to send me. I have this day raised a new account with you in my book and closed intirely the one standing open, so that I shall only proceed in any thing which I may have to charge from it, and could be glad you'd do the same in you books. I enwrap a a paper Exhibiting a view of my accts, as it now stands which you will find exactly correspondant to the Statements you sent me, (which I believe to be right) only that I charge myself with $180 which I recd of Doctor Parker, for your horse a few days ago. I shall send you pr Conquest the bearer $500 because I shall have to draw on you for Cash to make a payment for the benefit of Edmund Bayley's Estate and as well as for that of my decd half brother's Doctor Abel Teackle who died in Pitsbg. His Orphans got all safely here yesterday and I find I shall have to pay abt $400 for balla. of Expenses agte them in Pittsbg.
