Since your departure nothing has happened here worth writing you about, nor [have] any vessels arrived that bring in some customs. The bank post bills you have drawn on me have been shown to me; and everybody would like to have his money fortwith, which is impossible for me to do. I was willing to accept to pay them off as soon as the revenues would come in, but the people are not satisfied with that. They are calling for nothing but money, so that I believe some will write to you about that. They will have to be patient, however. And we will do whatever is possible to us, which you can rely on. My wife and I give you, [your] sister, and the children our regards and commend you to God. Remaining Your Obliging Brother S. v. Cortlandt.
