I saw Mr. McCaul he told me he was just
about leaving the Country,
and he having a note of hand of mine
amounting to £96,2,
6, which I could not then discharge any part of, and
as you have the direction
of his affairs, you'll please receive under
cover £10, 15, 0, and
two orders, one on Mr. James Mercer for £2, 18, 6,
due me by his brother, the
Colonel, and another, £20, 0, 0, which I'll
receive at the next sitting
of the Assembly, it being for two months'
pay of Person Cotuners, that

You have likewise another
order for £22, 10, 0, and interest, for some
years due me from Squire Brown,
which Mr. Truble included in with a bond
of his, and he promised to
pay it at the October Court, and make no
doubt of your getting it then,
or soon after. The balance of £4, 2,
0,you'll receive (if not already
paid) from Mr. William Scott, which he
owed me. As Mr. McCaul's account
against me is for medics. and
billiards, he desired I might
not put myself to any kind of
inconvenience till it suited
me. You may depend, however, that I'll
endeavor to contrive the balance
as soon as lies in my power. My bad
fortune in that way has been
of great prejudice to me. When it is
convenient your acknowledging
the receipt of this by way of
Staunton--and direct for me--merchant

will be acceptable. I am,
sir, your very humble servant. (Signed) ALEX.
