Febry. came to hande, my being absent from Richmond has bin the cause of not receiveing it in due Time: I am but a few howrs ariv’d of a Journey from Samuel J: Cabbells, from his many pressing invitations.

Your dores are now all in redyness except plaiceing in the pannells & the sashes for the S.E. piaza are compleate: the dores Shall be also complete in a few days. Adue and may Heaven bless You.
