My dear Son
I wrote to you by the last Mail in reply to yours of
the preceding Tuesday: To my last, I hope to have a reply on the next Tuesday with directions concerning the Negro boy. Mr Lipencott who goes off in the morning for Phila dep[?] to hand this, and to ask for yours on his return, and will bring me also the latest newspapers which likely will come to me between our port days: you will be so good as to furnish him. I have
given Mr. Lipencott for you Mr. Dennis Check for his dividend on
the Union Bank of Baltimore and have received of him
$100 a 900 which you will be please to pay him and as
the dlf is in your favour place it to my credit wh
recd it will be $112. All are well here and no change
of any sort amongst our friends in these parts.
Henrietta goes within a few days to Princess Anne and
will leave there on the 8th Prox. for P. to arrive there
the Wednesday afterwards John will go with her and if
the prospect justifies his going to the Western Country
he will be in place, and if not he will return in a short time
I am extremely sorry for the Indispositioin of little
Henry, I hope before this, he is restored, he love to Sarah
and Children I am affectionately
Your father
