Sir
Mr Semple did not appear with the horse — he sent him by a Captain Sparks, and in such a condition with his Back torn all to pieces that I shall have to pay a considerable sum for his cure and loss of time for the service —
I know not what Mr Semple expects but I think it reasonable that this cost should fall on him, and you will please to notify him of my expectations on the subject — the Bill for the extra expence shall be sent to you — the News Papers enclosed to Mr O'Hara will give you the News, I have nothing particular —
Saml Sir,
Your most obedt
