Lenox Castle 14th Jany 1822

Dear Sir

I delivered the Letter you left with me to Mr. Wilson Hill, who said that he had not the means of paying the Balance of the amt immediately, but it should be but a very short time before it was was done; & spoke of paying through Hillsboro in about two weeks if his Father's Health would permit him to leave home. He has attended to no business since the indisposition of his Father, who has continued to grow worse & I fear will not recover. I understand to day that his life is despaired of

Having no business at Caswell Court I declined going as I did not get the money of Mr. Hill for you

Respectfully your mo obt st Jno L Lynem
