Camden Novemr 11th, 1813
Dear Sir
On the fifth Oct. last I enclosed to you via Nashville two post
notes of one hundred dollars each which I hope you have received
before this, I was very suddenly called from home and detained
much longer than I expected or you shou'd have heard from me ere
this—on my return I found two letters from you, one of which con-
taining a Deed for Saml Fowler—desiring me to deliver the same
and receive the bala say fifty Dollars, and as you mentioned nothing
about the paymt of this money, I presume it is understood between all
parties that Mrs Berry is to receive it as her proportion of the Mine
Tract—I herein send you two post Notes of one hundred dollars each
and have forwarded to the Revd Saml Whettelsey one hundred dollars
agreeably to your instructions.
We are happy to hear that your daughter has changed her name,
and wish she may live to enjoy many years of pleasure—Mrs Sharp
joins me in love to your Wife—and believe me to remain with much
esteem
Your friend
Edwd Sharp
Next week shall forward you $200—which will be all the money in
my hands—Mr Acton wished me to inform you that he wants you and
James Austin to send him a power of atty to authorize him to
prosecute Schoolley for the Back rents for you—he thinks by harassing
him, he can bring him to terms as to the land—You must use your
own pleasure as to granting him his request—
