Wm H Seward Esq
Dr Sir
I enclose papers for an application to change the venue
in this cause for next Thursdays Court. I do not know as you
choose to attend to these motions. and if you do not I wish you would
hand over the papers to Mr Reynolds
Who had something to do with the last motion, and understand
about it. &c.
Wm & A Gould & Co. sent Wood
they should send, Moultons
& also Paine
sons
besides he has had no chancery
will be willing to pay for Either these books but if he is not I
will pay for them myself when the bill is presented, - I cannot
do very well without them. And as yet I am not over well
prepared to pass an Examination–– If you will have them sent
to me. I will see and have them paid for,
I wish you would ask the price of Cowens
& Wendells
and in all probably his Earthly career will be cut short he can
not hold out much longer, what may happen between him &
me I cannot say –– I hope to Eke out my clerkship in his
office, and then it will not be to my advantage to remain
with him –– I have picked up a pretty fair library saving
Cowen & Wendels Reports and some books of practice – and
would like to buy these could I get them, –– Second hand books
are sometimes sold and these are as good for me as any please
inquire before you come home in Jany how these books can be bought
I suppose you will prepare an address for the family
meeting and under this impression I think there will be none
prepared — Lazette
We have good sleighing and Extreme Cold weather,
Nothing happened in the Political World.
Yours Worden
