Princeton 7^th June 1793 Sir, It would appear, you have totally forgotten, that I in your distress, which you represented to be extreme, for the means of defray-ing your expences from Philadelphia, to Harpers ferry, you applied to me, for an accomodation, and that from motives of humanity, I actually did accomodate you, with the loan of five 5 dollars. At the time I made you this loan, your assurances were positive and ever-solvent that I should be repaid in four days, since which I have neither been repaid nor have I heard from you, on the subject — a period of near six months. Such conduct might admit of excuse, were it not extremely prejudicial to your character, when I should suppose of more value, to you, we'll call on mercies, than hirings one. I do not mean to be severe, but I ought not to be treated with ingratitude. I am Sir, your obedient servant John Caldwell Mr. William Insell
