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 Shiriffs 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
[defets?] relation and he gave bond for the trial
of the right of Property at the [acts] 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
