| Description | My dear Son,
I arived here this day about half past one in tolorable health, except a little cold.
It's now past six, and have just receiv'd your two letters dated the 3d and Sunday. Time will not allow me to read over Zack's pressed copy before the departure of the post; I fear I cannot be at home before Sunday or Money, and I beg that matter may rest till I arive, as I think from what you say there is some misconception, as I possitively advised that he did not engage on any terms without being a free man at the end of five years; however, as I shall be at home in a few days, I will see Mr. Russell and enter into it.
Many things of moment will prevent me from attending the meeting of freeholders by the middle of this week. I communicated to you and to the gardner my wishes about the road from Mrs. Sacheveral's by the manufacture to Birmingham Heath.
I have wrote Mr. Watt some political news, but the hour will not allow me to say more than that I remain, with sincere love to your sister and your self, your affectionate father,
M. B.
