[Copied.]
New York April [undecipherable]
Dear Sir
I enclose [now] a copy of my letter to you of the [undecipherable]th of [undecipherable] my letter of the same date to [undecipherable] Pendeg[a]st and [not?] also of the [undecipherable]
[undecipherable — obscured]
[undecipherable] and the letter in [undecipherable],
Pendegast will not acknowledge the receipt of the five thousand four hundred Dollars, for which you have not yet procured his receipt. You will see by my letter to him that I did, [not] [then] intimate, where the mistake lay, and therefore as his accounts agree with his receipt to you, I am of opinion that you will find on examination that he ought not to be charged with the sum.
Jon. Clary Esquire.
