Sir:

I have sent the warrant you gave me by Capt. Blount to have the money lodged with you or any other person as you may think proper. I have been very unwell since the day I left you, else I should have come at present myself.

I should be much obliged to you if you would let me know by the first opportunity whether the money is got or not, and if it can't be had you will be so kind as to keep the warrant until I can have the chance to get it again.
