The visit you honr’d me with was unexpected and the subject of the conversation too sudden to give any serious Opinion upon. I have since revolved it in my mind and would have further information and as many particulars as you please relative to your idea of an agreement that may happen betwixt us. It is true I had set aside all thoughts of entering on any settled plan till my Health was established, and as I was told on engaging these Lodgings I must quit them in March. I was seeking a Neat Comfortable House with a few Acres of Ground to amuse me and keep a Couple of Horses and Cows to supply our Family Yet on finding myself so much better I think I have no Objection to employ and amuse myself on a more extensive Scale than the one above Mentioned, but I have no intention to Purchase Land at present.

Now Sir having stated thus far my situation if anything strikes you that we might be useful to each other I should be glad to know your sentiments thereon, and in the most explicit manner for which purpose your answer at the earliest moment will Oblige in the mean time I shall suspend all enquirys in respect to a Dwelling in this Neighbourhood I am Sir Your Most Obedt. Humble Sert.
