Newport T. March 7^th, 1831

Dear Sir,

Yours of 15^th; [lett?] came to hand
mail before the Cash; our Courts being
last week occasion^d me to be so much en-
gaged that I cou^d not attend to procureing [sic]
the certificate & enclosing it by last mail.
it is herewith enclosed. you will perceive
the certificate also includes a vacancy in
Cap^t Wi^nters' Company. This was done now to
avoid the necessity hereafter in the event of
the citizens of that neighbourhood finding
it necessary to petition hereafter for filling
that vacancy. accept my best wishes for your
Health & happiness, & believe me to be with
much esteem,

your Friend & Serv^t.
W^m C Roadman
