  Dear Sir
                          I have the pleasure of informing
  you of my arrival home on the 9th and found my family well.
    After leaving your settlement I returned to Stuben
  =ville where I enter'd the South half of 27 and the South
  half of 34 and purchased W. Dickenson his
  quarter Section between.
          Oweing to a prospect of peace I am yet unde=
  termined what course to persue with reguard to a change
  of residence.    It has had an astonishing effect
  upon the minds of the people of the Sea Coast - 
  
  Foreign goods which were ran up after the embargo to
                          brown
  extortionate prices (as ^ Sugars to 40$ and others in proportion
  have fallen to less than half those prices.
        Oweing to the ground being frozen when I pass'd
  through Philadelphia I could not get the Grass Cuttings
  as McMahons were burned and private Gentlemen
  who had veins did not like to have them Cut in
  
  such hard weather -  I shall attend to getting
  veines to you in season however. 
  If you would be so extremely obliging as
  as to let it be understood by the neighbours round
  my tract that it is under your charge, it might perhaps
  prevent trespassing and if any thing of consequence
  should take place if you would let me know it you
  would confer a particular favor.
