Dear Sir:—

I understand there are letters in town which mention much business before the Assembly; if so, we cannot expect to see you till after Christmas.

I wrote the Governor in May last, that I had been informed he would have a quantity of hemp for sale this fall, and requested him to let me know his price per ton in hard money, the hemp to be delivered in Halifax. Whether my letter miscarried or not, I don’t know, but I never received an answer. I will thank you to speak to him on this subject.

If an opportunity offers, should be glad to hear what you are doing. Your little boy is well. No news.
