[July 3, 1840, to F. John McElroy in Fredericks]
Exposed the state of our questions with Dr Batey about his various claims for indemifications by reason of the servt girl paid for by him, & not consigned; & of 2 graviously infirm man servants, his last remittance for $900 instead of $1000 as announced, and my opinion, that we may be well satisfied to consider his claims thus balanced, as well as the interest due on his notes up to April 1st 1840. If he agrees with me, to have the approval from F. V. Provl & to send me a model of answer to Dr Batey.
