Samuel finally received a letter from Thornton, dated September 18, 1797. The letter was delayed because it was accidentally sent to Burlington. Samuel says that the hardest affair for him has been George's embarrassing predicament. Samuel calls George his "prodigal, imprudent and unfortunate son." Later Samuel informs Thornton that George, Ralph and others have returned to Whitesborough.
