Taunton Decr. 23d. 1786 Dear,

I recd. your Letter1 sometime since, & have been twice on purpose to see Capt. Ingle but Could not find him at home neither have I seen him to speak with him since I was at Boston. I Should before now have seen him but there has been no horse tract to his house Since the Snow.

I have Called upon Solo. Wetherell for your & my own Rates & he was to bring an acct. of them but I Suppose the Snow has prevented—but you need not Care about that for I will send you an acct. in season, if not Ill pay them & take your Certificate for the same.

385

I will see Capt. Ingle and Wetherell as soon as it is passing for horses—& do as you wou’d wish.

WE are all in health & hope you & good family are so to whom present my Complts. & believe me to be your friend &c.

Seth Padelford
