| page_0038pay for them. I told the old man he must
not trade with him for any thing - He then
said he had borrowed $10 -from him & had
put it down in a little book which he had
& told him if he did not send it down
to him by Thursday to show that book to
me & I would pay him - It is very painful
& disagreeable to me to communicate such
things to you, but I think you ought to
know them - I think the best thing you
can do is keep him at home & let him
take lessons from Dr Curtis. He will then
be under your control.
I sent up by the train the Bags
of Sugar & the barrel of whiskey which
I hope will arrive safely - I am glad
that the Yankee brought your [Stagville?]
[men?] to terms -
With Best love to all
Yours truly
