Philadelphia August [undecipherable], [undecipherable] [Dear] Sir [undecipherable] [undecipherable] pleasure of seeing you either at Jefferson or N[ew] York — I had it in contemplation to prepare to you even — [undecipherable] it would have been [undecipherable] you [undecipherable] [undecipherable] which I now informed [that] it is not [undecipherable] would have given you an opportunity [undecipherable] were [undecipherable] with me and finally closing [undecipherable] with the public — they have [undecipherable] helped the [undecipherable] of the Auditors and want only your [undecipherable] to be wholly com- plied [undecipherable] — [Your?] attention is also wanted to the money deficient and desired to be allowed by [undecipherable] — will not you come here? — it will be better to have our matters fully consi- dered and determined previous to my leaving these Northern States — you are sensible that as the [undecipherable] stands respecting your allow- ance, that there will be something due from you — we ought therefore in consult to adjust some measures to do you justice, or [undecipherable] [undecipherable] more than will be allowed you, [undecipherable] my own [undecipherable], which will be disagreeable [to] me and contrary to that engagement [undecipherable] between us [undecipherable] [undecipherable] in your accounts [undecipherable] by the Auditors [undecipherable] which [from?] your [undecipherable] may probably be over allowed [undecipherable] — hold our intercourse as [undecipherable] as I [undecipherable] our inclinations, I [undecipherable] [undecipherable] — I shall be [undecipherable] [undecipherable] let me know, it [undecipherable] will want as longer time to see you — [undecipherable] [undecipherable: signature]
