Sir,
I received your obliging letter; and shall take pleasure in doing any kind office for your brother. I have a not of [hand] of yours, sir, for payment of some tobacco, which mr Cabel, of whom I understand you received the tobacco delivered to me. Mr Madison also received 1000 lbs of tobacco from one of his pupils, one half of which was due to me; but I consented that he should retain the whole, upon his agreeing that I should receive what might be due from you to him. Be pleased to let me know of any thing be due from you to him, that if not, I may settle the matter with him. I am,
Sir,
Your obedient serv
G. Wythe
