Mexico. Sept. 18th 1834
My Dr Sir
Enclosed you have a statement of your a/c leaving a bal in your
favour of $416.94 Capt offutt was advised that we were instructed
to pay your bill at the Hotel which he said was well but has never
Sent it in
Dr Grant advised me that he had sent money to Saltillo to meet
my Dft in your favour and that I might consider it as paid
nothing more has been said on the subject and if you return me the Dft I
will pay over to Parrott and O the Amt to your credit, tho the
course would derange all my accounts with the Dr, as he has long
Since been credited with it
