A letter of yours bearing date Feby [February] 10th is now before me but whether answered or no I cannot tell. Until lately P McConnell has not been able to attend to any business but I have applied to him for the % of original Bond Instant Costs to which he says will be shown by one of the claimants connected with your getting possession; he named it but I cannot now say what it was. I will however make an extracr of the part of your letter connected with the affair. I delivered your note to Robb ___ and he authorized me to say to you that he will take the property __________________________ of two men, one to be appointed by you and one by him, half the amount so valued to be appropriated to settlement of Mr Macarius and his men [%?].Now I think this a very fair proposition but perhaps you may think differently and so I will say no now.

As ___ how is up I have no ___ today ___ at present ___ are all well. Your affect [affectionate?] Cousin Wm [William?] Montgomery Joseph |
