Description
Illness in his family has again prevented a journey to Chester county; his son is recovering now; but as the Assembly is sitting, he must attend the duties of the House; the trial cannot now be brought on, because necessary evidence is wanting; he will visit the lands and procure this evidence, so that all shall be ready for the trial at the next term in September.
