Are you willing I should take up your order of $50. and pay you with Uncle Jacob's note to call upon him for any time you want it? & if you are not willing to do so, I must write to him immediately to pay the note at Boston at the time I am there; in that case I should only take yours till I get there, and then replace it with his payment - but if your do not want to use yours, I should prefer to let that stand. The other question is, have you transacted that business about me a school room, and if so what is the result?
