Philadelphia June 7. 85
Dear Sir
Agreeably to your request of the 5 Instant I sent you inclosed twenty five Certificates from Number 24, 271 to 89, 336 inclusive, dated State of Penna the 3d Jany last, did not wish to trust one more for fear of Accidents, and as I expect Mr Pierce will arrive before 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 Wm Bane on Public Service — this will save Postage —
Mr 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 No 2375 in place of No 375 how so and at is —
Wishing you better, I am, as ever
Yours
J Howell
John White Esquire.

Dear Sir
Yours of the 27 Ulto with the enclosures was duly received, tho' too late to be answered by last post.
