I wish you would reserve four or five Bushels
of Barley for me — and send me some fodder
Straw & Corn — M^rs . Page has been confined
ever since she got here — as soon as she gets
out & Frank Page goes to Richmond I will
send you a good great coat or the materials
for one — I only want to pay off all first,
& then buy a new with cash, which will make
a great Difference in prices ~ if you collect
any money for me in a few Days, I can go
on with my cash purchases before I receive
any money from Richmond, which will not be
until [18^th ] next month — Capt. Cl[illegible]s owes
me as guardian of Cap^t . John Camp's orpahns ten
Dollars & promised to pay them the last District
Court — get the money & your Rec^t shall be good
against me — Cap^t . Seawell knows this claim
