Dear friend,
Enclosed you will find St John Paverski? check on Bk N. America your favor for Three hundred & fifty Dols. ($350)—the odd fifty you will please dispose of as follows—Six Dols. To Geo & Jas Benners the liquor men in 2nd below Race St. to cover a small balance of that Amt. against me. Thirty five 30/100 Dols—please pay to Wm Hoskins when he calls on you for it. I shall draw on you in his favor for the amt. So as not to trouble you to go to him. Hoskins is the man who made my Dray the balance of the fifty; Eight 70/100 please hand to Mrs O. to get Nell a dress or any article of clothing she may prefer. The Rest of the check you know about from my letter last night. I have nothing to add to it but beg you not to forget the “two bad paymasters„ I have invariably found payment in advance to be detrimental to both parties—but prompt payment as the work is done will secure you willing workmen & good work. With my sincer love and assurances of my constant good wishes for your health & prosperity Believe me Ever yr friend
SWolff.
