Notes he has been silent because he could not speak with effect. Claims he has "perfect confidence" in [Samuel] Ogden's integrity and security, but his business arrangements have "retarded his payments." Has been assured that Ogden will settle the matter by the end of the year. With his knowledge of Ogden's situation, he believes that plan is feasible. Hopes that Webber's mind will soon be put at ease. Says he will get his payment in full plus 7 percent interest. Mentions that he is enclosing a bill for $1,000 or £225 for Ogden's debt to Webber.
