  Esteemed Friend
                  I received thine of the 12 Int which gave
  the agreeable information, of the donation from John Todhunter
  is aid to our funds on Indian concerns, and have consulted
  several friends on the occasion, who think that it would be a
  proper mode to call a meeting of the Committee and au-
  thoize one of our number in an official way to draw for the
  amount, and as it is no suffering case we think it not necessary
  to call the committee together until the time of our Quar-
  terly meeting, at which time it can easily be done. We ex-
  pect the draft can readily be exchanged for cash with some
  of our Merchants.  In the mean time please, drop me a line
  informing whether the made proposed is agreeable to thy
  prospect, and whether thou wouldst have a choice to draw thyself
     please forward the address of Warder & Brothers
  and any other information on the subject thou may think ne-
  cessary.  I reached home in tow days from Zanesville since
  which have had my health, except within these two or three
  days have suffered some inconvenience from a rheumatic
  affection, with love to thyself & C(in which I expect my
  A would join, were the present) I am thy affectionate
  friend.                Jonathan Taylor
      Thos Rotch
