some little time we will I know be able
to make his property pay his debts -

The debt to the trustees is one most to be
regarded - I have just read a letter from
Mr Haywood saying; that if application be
made to the trustees in a proper manner
they might perhaps be prevailed on to ex-
tend further indulgences - Now any condition
or obligation which it may be thought proper
to impose upon Colo. Clement brother William
& myself we will cheerfully submit to, for
the purpose of gaining the necessary indulgence

If we could be indulged until som-
time in may we will have then time
to send his negros out to Alabama by
our brother who is now at washington city
who will be a long some time in march
I expect & who will be able to dispose
of the negros to an advantage
