D[ea]r Sir,
Inclosed I transmit to you (accompanied with a letter) a bill for two hundred dollars, drawn on you by L. Langham, in favor of my friend Mr. William Taylor of Baltimore. As it will save both time and postage if the money was forwarded immediately from Philadelphia — I shall esteem it a singular favor, if you would be so good as to remit the amount of the bill to Mr. Taylor, either in a post note of the Bank of the United States, or in a draught on the Office of Discount & Deposit at Baltimore, and advise me thereof.
Pray can you inform me where Mr. [undecipherable] Vaughan resides at the present moment? Perhaps you may learn at the Post Office. With sincere wishes for your safety amidst the dangers which surround you
I am D[ea]r Sir,
Yours respectfully
Edward Jones
