      Mr Mills shewd me your Lre inclosing a Writt against Nicholson, whom he has <served>, & recovered the debt charges, I delivered him your note, & the money is now in his hand, As to Mr Ward & Mr Jno Brown I here nothing from them yet to the purpose, but I will send to them to morrow to know if they have any money to return you. The Boundary bill is yet at Newcastle, but is determined to sett forwards on Sunday as Mr Clarke tells me this morning, I believe Indeed this Sundays or Tuesdays Post, will certainly bring it you.
