Mr Richard Bennehan Favd. by Mr Blount Orange

Dear Sir I have sent my Boy down for my Mare Capt. Thomas & Mr. Campbell. I expect we shall break up Tomorrow some time of the day or night tho' am in hopes we may get off time enough to reach your neighborhood tomorrow night, if you have any horse that could spare to send up that would do for my Boy to carry my portmanteau as far as your House, perhaps it would be be best to let my mare remain until I come down, however I leave that to you & wish you not to put yourself to any inconvenience with best respect to you Mr Bennehan & family I remain yours respectfully [B MCulloch?] May 16th 1783

Mr Richard Bennehan
