[undecipherable] July 28th 1786
Mr Bloodworth —
[undecipherable] have a desire to oblige by all [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] places and [undecipherable] as [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] any [undecipherable] by [undecipherable] a [undecipherable]
[undecipherable] —
[undecipherable] my own — I believe a
Town Resolution [undecipherable] will [be nec]essary
That all Claims should be lodged
by a certain day — Your HE —
Wm Blount
To Timothy Bloodworth Esquire
at New York
Office New York June [undecipherable] 1787. Colonel Blount presented this copy, and wishes to see the original Bill which he [says was] lodged here some time in the Summer of 1786 — I have looked in our [established] amount and can find no proper relation to the matter. I rather suppose that the bill of Exchange alluded to was not left in the office by Mr. Bloodworth — I remember [seeing] the bill when presented — but cannot recollect whether it was left or whether taken away — as the above letter of advice directs that a receipt should be taken for the bill — if the bill was lodged here — the receipt produced will prove the fact — if no receipt is produced — it is pretty Clear the bill was [undecipherable]
