Early Governors' Papers

Should that be the case, we would have [to] elect another representative,- I dislike to be a clerk more than once, a hint to the wise is sufficient for them - -

I would write more, but I have just arrived here and the mail is about closing - Let me hear something from you as soon as you can conveniently - direct to Pikesville - I will write again when I hear from you.- We of Sequatchie hope to have the pleasure of seeing you there soon

Please remember me to your brother William & Mr Van wyke

Your friend & servant
