Dear Cousin
I have defer'd writing to thee being in hopes from day to day of Rudulph's calling to adjust thee Cousin Charles's affair on the terms I offer'd him, w:ch were that he should accept the Ten pounds in full satisfaction for all demands—he refus'd it, unless I would agree to pay the Doctor. he has since had near a fortnight to consider of it & I find grows more inflexible, his wife continuing very poorly & their Child dead, w.ch the Doctor tells them was from the disorder it contracted by [illegible] milk &c. I shall be glad to have thy directory whether to [...] with his terms or not, if we do not, I am to[...] he is determined to prosecute, & in order to is attended at the W Plumsted's last third day, being our County Sessions, but thy affair being within the City is [???gnisable] only [???] Mayor's Court to beheld the next month.
I copy'd thy letters & sent them to Stenton & now return thee the Copy: we are told there's a great number of [???] already come to Fort Allen Wyoming & some to Easton, but when They will be all in & ready for the Treaty is uncertain. I hope your Governor & Comdr. will be there as early as ours, as the Success of the business depends much on setting out right & our Governor has neither inclination nor Judgment to act, as I occasion requires & would I believe pay more regard to a hint from a Brother Gov.r
