My dear Papa
I have been here for some days / attending to Business highly interesting to me / it requires my presence at Baltimore for / which place I shall depart tomorrow in company with the Lieut Governor -
The hopes of seeing you either at Albany / or this place has prevented my commu= / =nicating to you by letter. that a few / days before I left home Mr. S. Lansing / [opened?] a writ against for [Schurlyns] / demand against Rensselaer, the Sheriff / refused to enforce the ordinary proceedings / and took my word that Special Bail /
[END OF PAGE 1]
Should be entered by the third Tuesday of / the present Month as Indisposition or / some other Cause may prevent my / before that period I would thank you / to enter the Bail on my behalf after / which I can take such measure as you / will advise and the nature of the busi= / =ness admit_
Our family here are all in good / Health Catharine greatly admired and in / tolerable Spirit but very anxious to / meet you here or join you at Albany / She has too much filial affection to be / happy when seperated[sic] from her parents /
Love to Mama Peggy & the family
Your affc: Child &c&
