My dear Sir,

I cannot write a long letter as
all the others have written to you and you might
think hard of me is the reason I am writing
these few lines. I am well and hope this find you
well. I want you to send me 1 barrel of Corn
meal, 1 Barrel of press Pork, 1 Box of men
shoes, 1 Box of leaf tobacco, 1 piece of pantaloons
stuff, 4 umbrellas 1 Barrel of fish.


I have drawn my land which I will
try to improved to the best of my ability, and
all the rest have also drawn theirs, thirty
Acres each and town lot a piece. Our objects
is now toraised cotton which I think will be
useful[1]in Liberia. My best respects to
Aunt Rachel tell her to pray for me I
will try to do the same. My love to A. John
son, to Ri Regly and to all the enquiring
friends in the place

Yours Respectfully

Washington Michie
