I have attended toyyour request in regard to the note you
sent me for collection, and find the officers not willing to do
any thing without their regular commission. They will make no
bargin, and I have enquired about the man myself but can hear nothing
of him. I will endeavor to find him, and if you think proper
to pay the fee to have it collected by a constable, let me know.
We have quite a change in the weather, and these changes
generally give me colds.
I took Eliza and E. R. to Balt. on Saturday and I returned
on Tuesday leaving them to spend a week or so. Eliza and myself
were walking along the street we met with James. I approached him
and offered my hand. He shook with me and Eliza. We invited him to
see us at Dr. Davis', but he said he could not accept the invitations.
So we left him, and I hope he will be happy.
I have nothing to write. How is yr. Mother? Our love to
all. Farewell.
Please send my account when you write again, and I should like to
see Clines account. Tell him to send it to me. And Mr. Orr has not
said how much he intends to increase his rent on account of his extra
improvements.
I suppose Chas. Ball has got home. I saw him here a few
days ago. I am extremely sorry to hear that Dr. Eskridge has lost
his office, and that too by one of the meanest man earth. What will
the poor fellow do? Oh! we live in an uncirtain world, where it requires
the grace of trus religion to sustain us under our misfortunes
and trials. And thank God the Gospel brings us timely and
adapted relief, and promises timely release from all that oppresses
our hearts or darkens our prospects. May kind heaven constantly
supply us with this grace, that we may walk by faith and not by
sight. Pray for us. We want to live to the Glory of Him whose
we are, and who bought us by His death.
Old Dan.l McKallister from Kentucky has been to see me.
He will be in Leesburg before he goes home.
