Boston June 19th. 1786 Sr.,

I was much disappointed by your leaving Worcester without paying me some money as you proposed; and without producing some bills of Costs to be certified by the Court for payment, & without receiving some bills of Costs against persons convicted that Court, I understand you are to be in Town this week & am sorry I cannot See you, but hope you will leave me what money you can, with Mrs. Paine: I inclose some bills of Costs you ought to have & hope some of them will pay the money.

Hoping yr. welfare I rest yr. hble. Servt. R T Paine

RC (Thomas M. Paine, Wellesley, Mass.); addressed: “William Greenleaf Esq. Sherriff of the County of Worcester.” The address on this letter is canceled and the text crossed out indicating that it was probably never sent; the reverse is covered with lists of bills of credit dating from 1783 to 1786.
