D.r Sir
From a letter of advice which I received on Saturday from M.r Israel Ludlow dated at Cincinnati the 14.th of May it appears that my bills drawn in your favor for 1500 Dols. have been presented & duly paid.
After discharging a draft which I have this day made upon you for five hundred & fifty Dols. in favor of Clement Biddle Esq.r you will oblige me by immediately transmitting the surplus in a Post note or bill upon the N. York branch bank.
I am Sir with esteem
