to have received some answer from your Ldp but have not
yet been favoured with any. Mr Leeds on my telling him
some time ago that I had not, put into my hand the inclosed
Paper being a Duplicate of his Account before transmitted, if
your Ldp approves of the Measure, I can pay him £181 14 6
in part thereof being the Ballance due from Me by reason of
the Duty of One Shilling pr Hhd in the year 1768 exceeding
the Salary your Ldp was pleased to allow me & for the
Ballance £11 15 71/2 which would be then due to Mr Leeds
your Ldp may be pleased to transmit him an order on your
Receiver Genl If your Ldp should think the Service &
Attendance of the other Commissioners merit any Notice
your Ldp might I suppose make them a Compliment by allow-
ing each of them the Pre emption of a quantity of those other
Reserved Lands which lye beyond Fort Cumberland in case
these Lands are to be now disposed of; your Ldp will excuse
the liberty of this Intimation & as I have nothing more to
trouble you with at present nor any thing worthy Notice to
communicate I shall conclude with repeating my Acknowl-
edgments for the Esteem & Regard you are again pleased to
express for Me, to assure your Ldp that Nothing can afford
Me greater satisfaction than to hear from time to time of your
Welfare & that I shall ever remain your Ldp's sincere Friend
& most obedt humb. Servt
