I received your Favour, preparing to sell me your Plantation in this Country, which I should have answer’d sooner if I could sooner have been inform’d of its Qualities, Quantity of Acres, Price, and the Rent it affords; for not being in a condition to enjoy a Country-Seat, since my Malady, the Stone, does not permit me to ride either on Horseback or in a Wheel Carriage, I have no Inducement to purchase Land but the Prospect of its producing greater Profit than Money at Interest. It is but the other day, that the Gentleman you referr’d me to, call’d to give me what Information he could, which having consider’d I apprehend the Purchase will not suit my Views. So that I must wish you a Better Chapman. With great Esteem, I have the honour to be, Dear Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
