Dear Sir,
On the 20th ulto I wrote you inclusing a Statement from the Comptrollers Office of errors in yours and Mr Storer's accounts, amounting together to 9738/100 dollars. Having been desired to collect the amount of the errors I am solicitous of doing it without more delay, that the accounts now of two years Standing maybe brought to a close.
Having occasion for a small Sum at Boston, I have given an order on you in favour of my nephew Timothy Williams, which will save you the trouble of remittance.
I am dear Sir
affectionately yours
Timothy Pickering
