The letter reads "As I am very much in want of money just now to buy some necessarys for the winter I will feel much obliged to you in addition to former favours if you will do me the favour to send me an order on Major Cruickshank for a few pounds. You know I had not as much as a potatoe growing to me this season. My wife and Daughter being in a very bad state of health makes matters worse - In hopes of hearing from you as soon as convenient."
