Dear Sir,
As you live near to where our Friend Capt. Savery did, I must beg leave to trouble you to discover in who's hands any of his Debts are & if you should discover any to inform the Shf. of Orange of it & desire him to Summons them to next Court, he has a Memo to Summons Wm. Few on the same acct who owes Savery abt £15 of the Debt I want to secure is only 27. Virga. Money payble to Archibald Dunlop, pray try to discover this as soon as possible least others may be before hand with us - I hope you will excuse the trouble & if at any time I can be of service to you our way pray don't be backward in commanding Dr Sir
Your most Obt. Servt John Heath
