Hunter and myself. Justice is all I want and if it is justice for Hunter to recover the money for the survey.ing of my land and keep it under these existing circumstances I submit. But if it .is justice for me to keep back (at least) a part, I want to do so. The amount of the judgment that Hunter holds against me is $41 the amount of the surveying is much more than that some, but if I could retain the amount of the judgment in my hands untill the correctness of the lines could be ascertained, it would fully satisfy me. But in.all cases I am willing to submit to the judicious laws of my Country and in this case, to your better judgment I subscribe myself with every degree of submission ENOCH Bn.ENSON [Rubr.ic] Col.

Dun Sm This will inform you that I have removed to the Bn.y, nncl am re- covering my health verry fast, indeed was my family in a situation to leave home I am able to work now_. my little Daughter has the fever, but she is getting better. My wife also is mending. I wish you to be perticular in having the flooring plank stackd so that it may dry, and send me word when you think you will be ready for me to gow to work. and as soon as you can get the scantling hauled I can. be at work framing untill .the shingles and weatherboarding can be furnished. I am anxious to be at it for I ,want to make a crop in the spring if I do not meet sufficient incouragement there. I could get a man here to make your shingles but he will not do it for six dollars, and I will not give no more, for that is n. great price . 8A1'1IL, C. l-Illl<\MS [Rubric] Col S. F. AusTIN I. .
