Mercer November 5th 1836
Dear Sir
I have send you all that you required in your letter to me
dated 14th May last, in the case of Alexander Ewing, whose papers
are filed with you, It has been inconvenient for me to go to him
sooner; and he is entirely unable to come to me; he is obliged to use
& Crotch under each arm to go about his house-- and I have been
a good dale abroad this summer. To all appearance the old man
will not need it long-- you will please to make a decision in
his care and make return to me at Mercer _ Mercer County
Penna as early as convenient for he is very needy.
I am your Hble Servant
J L Edwards Esqr F Brown
