The night of the day I arrived Mrs Harrison was taken worse and I was up with her nearly all night, after losing the previ- ous nights sleep of course I have not felt well since, But one or two neghts sleep will reestablish me I hope, I made a full and satisfac- tory settlement with Mrs H which is a relief to me. Your letter to her gave much satisfaction and will be answer- ed soon. Miss H has complete contoll of _____ so make it be I say. I stoped with our old friend Mrs Willie whom I found just the some as of old, Her and her partner will desolve on -------------------------------------------------- on Wednsday next & Mrs Willie will contin- ue the business in the same house alone I think she will do well once she gets the house furnished and paid for You need not be surprised if I go down and take an interest in it with her, but more about this at an other time or I may see you.
