and I Expeckt rather mor
now, being a [¿],
wh since [¿] misfortune I
am, must make the debt in
all probabilate my own

not disturb Elengreg

& gave him
the last [¿] for he
shrinks on nothing leſs
than my releif to what
you do [¿] to me and I
am not sensable I Ever
gave yow ocasion I have
writ to Comisar Campbel
and Mr McLeod to [¿]
itt with yow, tho att presant
I have no mony I hope
it wil be [¿] and

as to give me a return
