My dear Son
You do not know how delighted I was to Recive a letter from you I believe its the first, you say that you were disapointed at the Bank. My dear boy you must learn to trust them when you arrive at manhood they will come often. If I am not mistaken when I return you will not need any clerkship. All looks bright ahead. So you must not be uneasy nor set your mother about me. be patient and if short of this mindfull, Run as right as you can see Abel Guy and arrange with him to wait untill I get home Allso with all -- I see that the marshall is about Selling som of my property do not interfere with them Let them go ahead. I shall have enough without it unless I am mistakebn. if you are short (bad) call on som friend of mine for a small amt
Remember me to Capt Mins family Capt Frome boys and all -- [illeg] this the [?] is bad the first and let no one see it your mother the same
From your affectionate Father
