| Description | Dear Friend,
With this I send you copy of a letter I wrote to Mr. Capper the 24th ulto. and duplicates of the papers therein mentioned, viz.
Copy of my replies to Mr. Hog's answer.
Four half sheets marked 1, 2, 3, 4, on four important subjects.
A sketch of the loss my creditors suffered in 2¼ years by selling 27 shares of Carron stock over and above 5 per cent. per annum for interest.
After you have read these papers, I should be glad to attend you at Soho at any time you may appoint, for an hour's conversation.
I am ever gratefully and affectionately yours,
Samuel Garbett
