I understand he is about Nacogdoches & his sister left here for Texas, &

her brother in law last week. It is from some expressions used in relation

to his conduct with the Creek Indians. I hope you will not have

come in contact before this meets you; but that you will be willing

as I know you are able to enter into satisfactory explanations, &

that you may become friends & useful citizens.

Had I youth & strength enough, I would be [be-]

side of you instead of this epistolary substitute.

Wishing you all health & happiness

I remain your old & true friend.
