Philadelphia June 7. 85 Dear Sir Agreeably to your request of the 3 Instant I sent you inclosed twenty five Certificates from Numb. 24, 271 to 89, 336 inclusive, dated State of Penn: the 3^d Jan.^y last, also not wish to trust one more for fear of Accidents, and as I expect M^r Pierce will arrive before my next post, a larger supply may be sent you — I should suppose it would be best to erase the word Pennsylvania out and insert that of Maryland — Pray let me hear from you immediately on the receipt of this, and direct your next Ticket to W. Pierce on public service — this will save Postage — M^r Wells has not yet gone for Maryland — in place of which he is very unwell — The Lottery Ticket came safe, but I conceive it is N^o 2375 in place of N^o 375 how to and it is — Wishing you better, I am, as ever Yours J Howell f. John Steil Esquire.
