Philada May 6th. 1795
Sir
The barer, Mr Judd, is a Gentleman of New England, who is
about to set out on a tour to Virginia, to see the country, and has
some thought of going as far as the Lead Mines, if he should reach
so far, I beg leave to recommend him to your particular notice, and
any civilities you may show I shall consider as done to myself, you
will find him a man of information, and I doubt not you will derive
pleasure from his acquaintance.
Now that I am writing to you, I beg leave to inform you, that I
have not yet recd the Office receipt for the return of the 20,000 Acres,
which you engaged to make in my name, as soon as you returned to
the mines, this it will be necessary for me to have, before, I settle
with Mr Blanchard, who you know is your guarantee; for his sake
therefore you ought to be as expeditious in this business as
possible Mr Norwell can forward it to me, by your direction. Neither
have I recd the annual account of the Lead Mines which you
promised me
from Yr humble Servt Thos Huston
[To Moses Austin?]
