My Dear Sir;
Your letter to Mrs. Gardiner reachd us yesterday and I dispatch this to day, and it should reach your duty on Sunday night or early Monday morning. We expected to see you one Wednesday last and so continually until last night. The carriage would have been at the landing to day as previously. Thus I assumd it unnecessary to move until your appearance. Now I am startled and it is too late to move except in one way and that is by dispatching my acceptance at 60 days and my note for the same time hoping that one or the other will be made available. You should have no difficulty in disposing of the acceptance, and any left I have of course to bear. I have given acceptances to your merchants and they have raisd the money on them without difficulty. But if that won't answer

then I send a negociable note payable at either of your Banks which I will so deem at [?]. I am [?] from your letter to your mother, and as I cannot because of the shortage of time move in any other way, I move in this. If neither plan will avail and you be [?] to the necessity of arranging it in some other manner than I will replace the fund of $500 upon your visit here and in regard to all other matters between us will submit to any conditions to place you at ease. I will not be the means of embarrassing you more than momentarily.
I was greatly disturbed by a letter from Bristol last night informing me of the extreme illness of Mr. Tyler. He was [?] however as convalescent still I am uneasy. Pray, if you can, bring me some tidings of him. Mrs. Gardiner has had one of her turns of heartache but it is passing off. All others are well.

Yrs Affly
J. Tyler
