Writes about a "scheme" he has thought of that may allow him to leave the army without fear of conscription. His scheme involves making an arrangement with Mr. Short, the Sheriff of Culpeper, to be a deputy sheriff until his health is fully restored. He will meet with Mr. Short that afternoon. He hopes that Short agrees because George will be able to make more money and would "master of his own time." Encloses a receipt.
