[William Yates to Gov. Lee]
Sir with regard to the Subscriptions you Desired me to Collect
I must Inform you that I live at a remote distance from those Gen-
tlemen you mention and Consequently had no oppertunity to Collect
them. But Docr Schnevely has promised to Collect and send them
as Quick as posable. Before and since you Wrote to me I have
done Every thing in my power to Serve you But without the Least
success was it not that I live in so remote a part of the County and
it so porely and thinly Inhabited I should be almost ashamed to
return you this answer, but that being the case I think I am Intitled
to your Excuse.
