Dear Brother. I Received your letter
at [?] Courthouse Miss a few days
ago which was dated the 2nd October informing
me your were all well which was I glad to
hear. The circumstance of my not coming in
this summer past was unavoidable by me
when I got on to my Business the last spring
I found it in a hazardous situation to leave
in as much as the court in [?] faild by
the sheriffs running off. a special term of
that court was held in July and I succeeded
in giting a judgement in one of my cases for
about $3,500 and had a levy made on 16 negros
the 1st day of August. They were claimed by the
[de...ts?] relation and he gave bond for the trial
of the right of Property at the [?] term of
the court and we a [failed?] in getting a trial
consequently I shall have to attend court again
on the 4th Monday in april next and I think
we will condemn the property and find it
subject to the payment [?] [Execution?] and also
at the same time get a judgement against the
same parties Coleman & Welsh for upwards of
$2000 more.
