To Jacob Broom (unpublished)
Philadelphia Octr. 26. 1789.
Dear Sir,

I hear nothing from Mr. Rillan in consequence of your kind Interposition, respecting the Bond of his Son. I have always been unwilling to engage in Law-suits; if you could find any Person that would purchase of me an Assignment of that Bond, I would be content receiving the Principal to give up the Interest. If such a Purchase would suit your Academy, I should be best pleased that they might have the Advantage of it. A Line from you on this Subject will very much oblige, Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant
