Dear Sir, Richmond April 30. 1787 The enclosed letter to M^r Osgood being of a Confidential nature. I wish you to hand it to him at his House or leave it there for him. When I was in Philadelphia I got the Trial of the fellow confined in goal there for passing my uttered certificates, postponed until July next. When Bronson must appear as an evidence — I wish you to let him know it, and that in case He do not return before that time, that you would attend at the court to prove the alteration — the papers (as also Bronsons original certificate) for that purpose I left with M^r Smith the Loan officer to whom you will apply for them, in case you want them before that time — your letter of the 19^th has just arrived. I am D^r Sir your Ob^t Serv^t M^r Howell John Pierce
