Mr. Henry Mitchell.

Sir:--The last time I saw Mr. McCaul he told me he was just about leaving the Country, and he having a note of hand of mine amounting to £96, 2, 6, which I could not then discharge any part of, and as you have the direction of his affairs, you'll please receive under cover £10, 15, 0, and two orders, one on Mr. James Mercer for £2, 18, 6, due me by his brother, the Colonel, and another, £20, 0, 0, which I'll receive at the next sitting of the Assembly, it being for two months' pay of Person Cotuners, that was attached, for which I never received. You have likewise another order for £22, 10, 0, and interest, for some years due me from Squire Brown, which Mr. Truble included in with a bond of his, and he promised to pay it at the October Court, and make no doubt of your getting it then, or soon after. The balance of £4, 2, 0, you'll receive (if not already paid) from Mr. William Scott, which he owed me. As Mr. McCaul's account against me is for medi^es. and billiards, he desired I might not put myself to any kind of inconvenience till it suited me. You may depend, however, that I'll endeavor to contrive the balance as soon as lies in my power. My bad fortune in that way has been of great prejudice to me. When it is convenient your acknowledging the receipt of this by way of Staunton--and direct for me--merchant at Fort Lewis, in Augusta County, will be acceptable.

I am, sir, your very humble servant.

(Signed) Alex. Boyd.

Dear Sir:--I have settled with Mr. Heath, but to my great grief have not been enabled to discharge the balance due you on account of the deceased debtor, Johnson. As that money should by no means have been detained, I will take it as a singular favor if you'll be easy in the affair, as it will not be beneficial to the estate and troublesome to you to bring suit, and you may depend I'll have it discharged ere you could recover it by law. I am extremely obliged to you for keeping it secret, as I would by no means have it made public. If you would share (spare) the money to the estate, I'd gladly pay you interest for your money, and most gratefully acknowledge myself unfeignedly, dear sir, your most obliged humble servant. (Signed) Alexander Love (for Alexander Boyd). To Lieut. William Hughes, Winchester.
