Dear sir
agreable to my promis I now address you by Mr Milbourn I have
to inform you that Mrs Page coincides with me in wishing to receive
the two Labours No 1 and No 2 If they can both be conveyed in
one deed it will be best if not let there be two if in one they can be
conveyed in the name of Eliza Page widow of the late William A
Page her maiden name was Eliza Clarke.
I have paid Capt Chase $10 for a bbl of flour on your account,
and hope to be able to bring with me when I come to Town money
to pay you if not the whole at least for the deeds and stamped paper
but the prospect is not very bright, owing to Varners not being able
to procure any money, we have had to advance every dollar we could
scrape to make up the payment of the Hope, I[f] you should want
Flour for your own use send an Order to me as I have some bbls
to sell likewise hatts and salt—
yours affectionately A. E. Clarke
Friday morning 4th May 1827—
