I waited on Chief Justice Killen, a few days since, to remind him of the engagement entered into by him for payment of your money due you from his son Jacob. The old Gentleman informed me, that it is of great concern to him, that he has not as yet been able to take up the Bond—it is owing to numerous disappointments he has met with—one in particular, his not receiving any of his Salary for 3 years past, or nearly so. This I know to be the case. He has laid a Memorial before the Legislature complaining loudly—to satisfy him as well as other State Creditors a Tax was laid at our last Sessions. It will be collected immediately after Harvest, and he says he will take care to discharge that Debt due to you. I have the Honor to be, Sir, with the greatest respect and esteem Your most Obedient and most Humble Servant
