Banks & Hatcher to the amount of about 500 pounds payable in convenient time…I shall be glad if you would think on the subject and on our next interview communicate the most admirable way of adjusting this business rightly between the two Estates, as I find Mr. George Miller much disposed to be circumspect & cautious in the affairs.” In very good condition, with tears and splits to folds and seal-related paper loss.
