Thomas Rotch} St Clairsville 4th mo 22nd 1817
Expecting that Judge Ruggles will set
out for Kendal in a few minutes have just time
to request thee to rent a small tenement for me-
if convenient to obtain one near the Manufactory
should prefer it. a small one will be suffi=
cient as we have but little & shall bring only a part
of that - please to desire Aaron Chapman to
have the garden ploughed & plant a few potatoes
& procure a few cords of wood at the door.
In haste thy friend
Rouse Taylor
