Sir
I have received your favor of the 25th and now hand you annex’d a/Sales of your 16 bls. flour Nt Prds $59.70 at your credit, I also annex a Statement of your a/curt to this day balanced by $1339.85 in your favor of which $500 is still due to Mr Vaughan and $190 curtail & disct on your note to be paid on Friday, leaving $649.85 towards the payment of the note in bank—LeRoy & Co inform’d me that it was with difficulty they passed their dft on me for the $432.25 and of course could not include the $800.1 of this I advised Mr Vaughan, who has drawn for $300 and is in hopes in a few days of drawing for the balance—Flour is down to 5 & 5½$ and not likely to improve—Tobacco 4½ to $7 except for very prime which is scarce—
