Cowan vs. Cowan.--Letter of Andrew Cowan to David Cowan, living in
Albemarle, dated January 13, 1766. Loving Brother: This comes to let you
know that we are all in good health at present, blessed be God for his mercies.
Hoping that these few lines will find you in the same, I desire that you will
go to James Cowan's and ask him for a note of mine that lies in my little
trunk--a note of 2 pounds and five shillings, which William Teas(?) is due
me against March 25, and get the money, for I am going to Carolina. I have
nothing material to write you, but desire to be remembered to you all.
