Your favor of Aug. 23. was recd on the 6th inst, and I have thus long waited to remit my balance, of 13.97 endeavoring to get bills of the US. bank. it was not till the day before yesterday I could get them, for they are rarely seen in circulation in our country situation. I now inclose 15.D in that currency. should you meet with one of Planche’s lexicons Gr. & Fr. remember me. I salute you with est. & resp.
