Dear Sir
By request of Dr.
Holeman I send this note to you, that
you may have an opportunity of sending
from under your hand the amount of
your Taxable Fund, I gave him a list of
the Negros & directed hm to the Commissioners
Book for the balance; but he is fearful that it
might have been changed since you gave in
your last list–All well as usual, had
a snow storm yesterday morning
followed by rain & sleet; but is mile again
this morning, I hope you will find an
opportunity to come up and see us before long
I wrote you a few days ago, about Mr Joseph Seay
wanting very much to hire a cook woman
if you were disposed to hire one
I am about starting my teams to haul some
logs to the Steam Saw Mill, today.
Dr. Brent Y Mrs Brent left for Warminster
by the last Boat. Mr. Wm Cabell has been down
His wife & Mr Frank Cabell both sick with
colds & sore throat, I remain yours in haste
very respectfully Ro B. Hughes
