- Abstract
- Samuel rejoices that Thornton made it safely to Boston, and he is glad that Thornton met up with George, whom Samuel promises to comfort in his times of misfortune. He talks about George's problems concerning certain negotiations in which George "wished to have the Loan of my Name." He mentions Eliza's educational expenses [see 197c and 197e]. He resumes the topic of George's problems which arise from a particular bond, the dealings with which put Samuel in a bad situation both in reputation and in monetary concerns. Samuel feels George should make amends. George also gave a bond of 40,000 to a Mr. Shotwell for two townships of land, but George later sold it causing Shotwell to become angered. Samuel talks about his healthy recovery at the Springs and his recent expenditures.
