Dear Sir
By the bearer John Conner you'll recieve a Bale Woolens from Storrs & Co. and [amans?] Saddle &c. delivered here with a Package of Rugs & Blankets with some Glassware from A. B. Milners he will forward an Invoice by this waggon. — Dr. Matthison has been & now is in such a poor state of health that his life is dispaired of. I have waited here at least eight Days after finishing what Business I had to do in hopes of his recovery but it is still doubtful, and it gives me pain to leave him in such alone condition, I am very impatient to be at home, notwithstandg I will stay a few Days longer to see if any alteration in his disorder which I sincerely wish may be for the Better.
Inclosed is copy of Invoice for the Bale of Woolens, which concludes me. — Dr. Sr. yr. obt. Servt. Wm. Johnston
P. S. I sent a pr. Shoes. 2 pr Silk stockgs. & a mans hat, by Moses Doset for Johnston & Thackston, they engaged to procure them for J. Sitteral & I forgot to mention it my last —
To Mr. Richard Bennehan Mercht. Littleriver
