  Dear Friend           Philadelphia 5 mo 2, 1814
      Having a good opportunity to Canton I send
  thee a few Lines, I hope this may find you all
  in good Health and in and Improving way
  I presume this must be the case from what
  
  I observed by the letters recd by My Wife from
  thee, I am sensible the Land that was entered
  by thee for my wife has been entered nearly two 
  years and as this is the Case I shall feel much
  obliged to thee if thou will have the goodness
  to attend to the Business as she informs me that
  thou has funds of hers in thy Hands sufficient or
  nearly so to pay the amount due on the to
  Quarters entered by thee for Her. She is
  from Home and will not return before 10 Days
  and as I cannot find the receipts thou forwarded to
  her I wish thee to attend to the Business, she has
  been absent some time and I did not recollect
  them before it went & I cannot say when the
  first becomes due, but I think it is the first of 
  24 or 5 of this month what ever may be the ballance
