Sir
Your favour of the 30th [undecipherable] last
in [undecipherable]ing an Invoic of Sundry Mer-
chandize came to hand this day, I rec'd one
Waggon load of said Merchandize yesterday
and daily expect more, I had wrote [strikethrough: undecipherable]
to Mr [undecipherable], to go by last Post, requesting he
would forward no more Goods [till?] [he?] [undecipherable]
from me on the Subject, but my Letter did not
go, the Post set out before the time, [the?] [undecipherable]
Mail ought to be clos'd, I shall not write
Mr [undecipherable] now, as its probable the Goods
would be on the road before my letter
could reach him — I have not seen an
Indian for ten days past nor have [we]
heard from Colo. Hawkins in that Time,
he was to commence a Talk with the Nation
yesterday, I fear we shall receive unfa-
vorable Accounts from that Quarter.
Pray inform me how I shall act, should
the Indians become troublesome, This would
be a disagreable Place for me to be in with
my family, at such a Time —
I am Sir
