Thomas Ruffin Esqr

Dear Sir

We wrote you on the 9th
November and have not had the pleasure of hearing
from you since -

We are now making out the States of
Mr Dunlop's business to forward to him, and as we
are desirous to give him as much information as
possible relative to the claims he left with us for
collection, we will feel obliged to you, if on receipt
of this you will favor us with a particular statement
of those in your hands, pointing out the time
when you think the money on each bond will be
made- it is very desirable to get this statement and
we hope you will find it convenient to forward
it at once meanwhile we remain Dear Sir
Yours respectfully

Shepherd & Leslie
