Dear Sir,
Since I finished the enclosed to you I have received an express from Major Seagrove demanding satisfaction for the violation committed on [blank] and as he has made a large demand tho' no more than just: I do not know how matters may turn out therefore should not wish the frontiers to lay too much unguarded for a while as a short time will determine how matters are to be in this quarter. The bearer Mr. David Garvin can inform you with particulars relative to this matter nothing more but remain
Yours &c (Signed) Timothy Barnard
