My dear James
I wrote you hastily this day three weeks
to which I refer, as regards the documents, I am to Sign.
Without making many words, I am all but as anxious to
perfect on my part, what has been done in Ireland, as you
are to receive the papers, Comprete. At the same time, I wish to
have my signature, Certified to, by the proper officier, So as to
leave no
room for dispute at a future day - My intention is to be in
Philadelphia - about the end of March, or within two weeks
of that, when the papers shall be signed and forwarded in prefer
ence to all other business.
On the day after I wrote last
I came to this place; and on the following day was introduced
by Mr Pemberton Sup of the works, to the party then in charge
of the Store, on this day two weeks we commenced to take
Stock, which is all on paper but not fully carried out.
On
the 14th Thursday the Store was opened under my direction.
