My dear Teackle
I sit down with hardly five minutes of time to write by one of your Countrymen, a Mr Nivison, nephew of my late worthy friend John Stratton, who has been studying in Edin. and on his way to Greenock to take shipping for Virginia, has passed a few days with me. It is a thousand to one if you meet, but should chance throw you together, he will tell you that I am in good health and much the same as when he, then a Boy, knew me at Northampton Court House. He will tell you also that he left my Mother and Sisters well, and that
they all desire kindest remembrances to Mrs. Teackle and yourself. From your lady I have received a most agreeable and a most entertaining letter. Tell her that I will take a very early opportunity of endeavoring to instate myself to another. I have also to acknowledge a short letter from your goodself containing a promise of a longer by and by, which I daresay this will arrive in good time to remind you that there is such in existence.
I wrote you lately twice and hope you may receive this soon to prevent you giving yourself any trouble about the Blockhead Rosses. Also,
which is much more essential, to vindicate my friend Doctor Parker from the suspicion of a failing said to attach too much to your countrymen. I have received from him a remittance for the small sum which I advanced to him, and regret having said anything of it to you, but make no doubt that it has not been further communicated.
I am sorry to see, by the watch before me, that I must conclude abruptly with requesting my kindest remembrances to Mrs. T. and the young Elizabeth.
Always, Your
Most Sincerely and Affectionately
A.D. Campbell
