Dear Sir
On my return home finding the paper &
discovering my Negligence lest I might
be from home when it was wanting
I left it with Lethe under a particular charge
to convey it to you or some of your family or Col. Eaton
with safety or recd of this & searching for it she
Remembered it & told me of the circumstances or
I should not have Recollected it. Yours H
Wm Smith
