twenty or thirty Pounds in York Bills but underſtand it will
not anſwer therefore have conclued to get it changed
as ſoon as poſsible and find it is to Mr Pomery at
Hartford, dont know but I shall be Obliged to ſend
it to New York upon Account of a late Act of this
Collony — I called upon M.r Leavenworth and had
ſome encouragement of the Money but have not
got it as yet. Nando will not hear anything about
comeing to Dartmouth cannot underſtand by him
that he gets any thing beforehand but says he
does not intend to be a charged my Father is willing
to ſell his right in him but does not comply with
your propoſals with regard to Hager. have not as
yet heard from the reſt of the Heirs but shall go to
Judea in a few days when I shall call upon Cozen
Northrop with his Account. The land in the uper
end of the field and uper Meadow I beleave will ſell
with a reaſonable time for payment without much loſs
