Esteemed Friend
Thos Rotch
I would be verry much obliged by thy sending the amount of my acct rendered pr A Chapman by the bearer. I would have done myself the pleasure of going to see thee on acct of a situtation for my store now in this place, & should be much obliged by thy giving me thy opinion as to the propriety of sending goods to Kendall. We are almost all unwell, with much love for thy Dear wife. I remain thy assured frd, Robt Richie
