take into consideration my situation with a Wife
and young Family in a new Colony as it will in
all provibilety be my Ruin since my Removal

a small Quantity of Wheat which should Mr Scott
insist at any fuller time my Removal from the spot
which he allowed me to remove to it will be useless
of my doing any thing more untill your Excellency
