notable item/thing
I doubt whether it can be affected
House took off the bill respecting the South Western frontiers
President's signature to the bill
a son about 18 years of age
regiment
class of gentle young men
lay in my cloths last night
strength of his constitution is beyond every calculation
summon'd to attend his departure
south part of the town
suppose one of them only will go forward with an expectation of your joining him in the representation
if you cannot attend this business or its your opinion that the mutiny will not be attended to I wish you to inform me in your next
afraid some of the old Continental Officers are about bringing us into a difficulty
applied to twice, one a field officer & the other a captain
invited to assemble
make good our pay
this may be just
think it an unfavorable moment to bring it into view
have had no conversation with any of our friends on the subject but I am satisfied they are in opinion with me
favours the idea
Constitution
rec'd your favor
by the post last evening
sorry to hear
disappointment in his application for a bankrupt act
his friends pleased themselves that something would be settled to relieve him
he deserves every attention
all well know the sacrifices and exertions he made in times that try'd many souls
best regards
general meeting of delegates
