Lower Settlement Brassos Novr 21st 1825
Dear Sir
I neglected by an intire forgetfulness a small arrangement that I
was under promise to make in favour of Thomas Alley of the payment of four Dollars that I owe him I told him sometime previous
to my coming from Town that if I could not get the money for him
that I would not fail to make arrangements with you or Col. Austin
to pay it to him or his order which he said he would give in favour
of Mr Brown that left some whisky with you if he did not call on
you himself Sir if you will be good Enough to settle that Amount
with him for me and enable me to keep my word inviolate which I
wish always to do You will confer a great favour on Your friend—
Command my services at any time.
