I am heartily sorry at what you say about Sr Walter’s being uneasy on Accot of Corporation Business and if possible more so at what you wrote on the 11th instt about my Brother’s Behaviour to him - But I have quieted my Mind by hoping Sr Wr will not impute to me any thing on Accot of my Brother’s Eccentricity                                I am etc    HR
