[No. [undecipherable] May 1791 / from Lt. [undecipherable] Denny] Joseph Howell Esqr. by mail Express. Philadelphia — Head Brunswick. May 25^th 1791 Dear Sir, I do myself the honor to enclose to you the warrants for the months pay & contingent money which you left with Captain Beatty for Captain Shaylor – I hope the receipt taken on the back of them may be proper. Poor Beatty could Stand it here no longer, I was obliged to come up that he might retire to his brothers at Dunns Town, where I expect he will remain & restore to himself, for a fortnight at last. [undecipherable] — thank you for your Letter of the 11^th instant. 5/9 of our tickets turned out blanks, three prizes of 50/ & one got in the wheel. Your own is not a blank but the next thing to it — it is on the same establishment with mine. — Captain Shearfuged, I dare say you know him, was sold one half of the £2000 — the partner I don't know, but I am pretty certain that in any view pleased with his success — I should have renewed General Harmar's ticket but from the state of the Wheel & the prize, the people thought it not admissable, and perhaps it as well for we should not have drawn what Shearfuged has got — Captain Beatty has 91 tickets likely fellows, but when he is complete in hand & fill, there are but few that offer at this place. I hope [undecipherable] and Pennsylvania is adequate the remainder — Believe me to be with great regard D'Sir — your obliged friend & hble Sert E. Denny [Mr. Howell Esqr.]
