Richmond,
Nov. 24, 1836.

My Dear Sir,

When I reached home I found
my wife very ill in bed, and all my office
affairs in great confusion. This will, I hope, be
a sufficient apology for your not hearing from
me before.

By this day's mail I shall send a
package of Messengers to Saunders & Otley. Be
sure and get it from the office. The Messengers
I wish Mr. S. to dispose of exactly as he has
done with the sets I had the honor to send
him long since by packet - all of which I
hope reached him in safety.

Let me know if you called on
Miss Medina - and presented to her
the [ten?] [issued?] Nos? I hope you did not
forget it. Call on her again, if you can
possibly spare the time, and urge her, [underline]as
from yourself[/underline], to send me something for the
Messenger. It is [requisite?[ I should have
her first article here by the 10th Dec. Tell
her to send it by mail.

Recollect and [act?] [about?] the
collections (when the sets reach you) as I have
asked you to do.

Send me the $15 or a $10 & $5
of one of your City Banks; - and send it on as
soon as you can get it - for we are all
without money in Richmond.

I am your friend,
T. W. White.
