Mr. Ruffin
Dear Sir

On Sunday last I had an interview with
my Brother William Anderson, on the subject of the
business of which you spoke to me on Saturday Evening
he appears disposed to enter into business of that nature
but as it respects myself, I have after giving the subject
mature consideration, came to the conclusion that the
situation of my business forbids that I should
embark in business of that nature, not the least
consideration with me, is the trafic itself, against
which the feelings of my mind in some measure
revolt; 2endly in order to raise the necessary funds
to prosecute the business to advantage, a resort would
have to be made to some of the monied Institutions
of the State, which to me would be unpleasant
thier mode of Transacting business wwith their Customers
is so strongly marke with Tyrany as to disgust a
free and Republican Spirit, believe me sir when
I say that no friend of yours would be more
grateful to render you any service than myself
particularly under your present Circumstance
as named by yourself to me when I last saw
you, but the reasons which I assign I know to
a mind like yours will be satisfactory,

In hopes you may be able to hit upon
some expedient that will better answer
your needs, than the one of which you
spoke to me, while I remain with
all due respect yours
Respectfully
Q. Anderson
