Francis Mintges Phila. Pennsylvania [free] South West Point 7^th Nov. 1800 —— D^r. Co., I hope you will not conceive it an imposition on your friendship, in requesting the favor of you to have a couple of Chemises made for my dear little girls, and sent to Bethlehem: they can be left so as to fit to them at that [undecipherable], you can present the bill to Co. [undecipherable] who will pay it as well as the postage of this letter, and all kept from them. I thank you for the Eagle, I hope you may long live to wear your own. —— I find you have sat and drank our old landlady out, where have you cast anchor, I should be glad to know by a line from you, as I would then expect to have the news of Philad^a and what face Pennsyl^a puts on, relative to election for electors. — I have had bad health for some time past, but am now much better, I hope this will find you in perfect health, and be assured that I am your friend and Humb. Serv. Co. Mintges — Th. S. Butler ——
