Dear Sir
I enclosed you in my Letter of October 12th last an account wherein you had made a mistake of an hundred Dollars but the name of the Officer was omitted for which reason I am uncertain whether it was the one encolser, Doctor [illegible] Watts's or not. I therefore inclose it and request if it is not done already that you would attempted to get this sum back from him,
I am Sc
Pierce
