In abedience to your questions I have procured you a firkin Butter contents noted at foot. The old woman from whom I have generally purchased tells me she has fallen far short of her usual quantity and that she was sick most of the time which it was she is rather a [praise?] it has not been so nicely handled as formerly. However I hope it will prove good in quality. I have lodged the Butter with this Letter in care of Mr. Johnston who will forward it to you by first Waggon going to your place. Polly has been very [busy?] in getting her negro clothery in [readings?] so that we pay you a visit this Fall. She wishes much to be down about the critical moment. She [gives?] me with Kind respects to Mrs Webb. [Believe] to be with due regard

Dear Sir,
By Mr. Wood I have reviewed 510[superscript ce] Baron, we have nothing new from the Southward that is to [be depended] on, a report present'd [here] a few days ago that the Enemy had got on Board their ships. a man came to Town today from Broad River who says he heard no [fresh?] news there, nor nothing from Camp material. Cant conceive why orders have not come to draught the Militia, something has certainly happened to the Southward which induces the Governor to keep back the draught.
I am Dear Sir, Your Obedient Servant.
