Dr Brother,
I have commenced keeping bachellors hall at Mr. William's house, and
have neither bed nor sheets nor any thing—
Perhaps you can get a few sheets cheaper in that quarter than can be
had here. Try and send up the matrass I brought out—it will do for
Austin— See Mrs. Williams on the subject— I wish to borrow or buy
or get in any way a few of her house hold affairs—untill I can get them
from else where
I wish you to send me a barrel of flour, and some sugar etc I'll say
half barrel of the former and a bag of coffee— I must now arrange a
business or office family to be devoted exclusively to the dispatch of
business—but to do this I must have some beds and something to eat
