Dear Sir
twenty or thirty Pounds in York Bills but understand it will
not answer therefore have concluded 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
Colony — I called upon Mr. Leavenworth and had
some encouragement of the Money but have not
got it as yet. Nando will not hear anything about
coming to Dartmouth cannot understand by him
that he gets anything beforehand but says he
does not intend to be a charge 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 upper
end of the field and upper Meadow I believe will sell
with a reasonable time for payment without much loss
perhaps 12/0 or 15/ per Acre. I am sir in great haste
will write you more particular the next Opportunity
we are all in health I am sir Your humble servant
