My Dear Sir,

Mr. McIver not being in Town I regret that I have it not in my power to send you under cover Mr. M's note - I enclose you Mr. McIvers receipt (with an order thereon) for the note; also Mr. McRaes check on State Bank for $628 17/100 balance of your note Mr Yarbrough two notes retired & your stock wrth $1,500 retired. are also under cover - - - You will observe that Mr. Hart paid but $85 (which sum was left with him by Mr. Neal for Mr. Yarbrough) & there was $15 14/100 short, which Mr Yarbrough must pay you, as it is deducted from your check - Should you not expect to see Mr. McIver in a short time, you can send his receipt down again & I will get the note & order to dismiss the suit, as I expect he will be in Town in course of five or six days, perhaps before -

Do you wish the statement you requested me to send you, as an evidence of so much debt paid by you on account of Mr Murphy for

for if that be the case the Interest that you have been paying on the $6,300 stock note you loaned him should be included! If you wish it I believe I can give such a statement, the Interest however until latterly was paid by him - If you want evidence that the note of $6,300 was a loan to him I can establish that, for I know how the money was applied -

You here have a statement of the present transactions -

Dr

[manicule] I have kept no a/c of the above transactions [?]

It is with real sorrow that I hear of the low health & sufferings of your venerable Father - I trust that your fear may prove unfounded & that he will soon be restored to good health - his loss would not only be felt & deplored among his family & friends, but society in general would sustain a loss not soon to be repaired - there are few such men in our world as Stirling Ruffin!

Our friends hereabouts are all quite well - Betsy joins me in love & affectionate regards to you. I am my Dear Sir, Your friend O O Svt Geo. M. Mill
