Harrisburg July 16th, 1826
Dear sir
I wrote to you by Mr. Givens, but he went by the way of the Fort
settlement, and it may be some time before you get the letter.
in our calculation of the cost of your house, we forgot the shingles,
and putting them on. Also my sawyers that I thought of getting had
taken a job for Vince, and it will be two or three weeks before they are
done, after which time I will send them on to you.
I wish you to instruct me what to do about the approaching
election in case Harris does not return. I have put up the advertisements
according to your instructions. Let me here from you by Dr. Kenny.
My respects to Majr. Burnett and Mr- Williams, and believe me to be
yours &.
