my letters contains news very argreeable and part not so pleasant.
Sr I rec'd letters from Two my most particular friends—which
arrived on the coast about 30 days ago one is formally the president
of the Branch Bank of Kentuckey one I presume you know he was
five years ago the Speaker of the House of the Legislature Mr. G. B.
Thompson of Mercer County they are my most devoted friends Sr I
wish to see you very much. The Barron comes down for the purpose
of raising money for to pay his expense in the Legislature I know
well what is his business you will say nothing to him on the
Subject of my business and letters he is a man very wavering and
inconstant in mind and acts.

stability in Thinking, acting and doing etc.

settlers of your Colony. I remain your
