Dear Sir
I take the liberty of inclosing to you another claim to Bounty Lands for 200 acres – I wish the warrant to issue in my name as assignee, & when it has issued, that you will lift it, together with that in Greenwalds case, & retain them both in your possession until lots are pointed out to meet them. 
I am an entire stranger at Washington which I offer as an apology for to presently troubling you with my concerns.  It would afford me pleasure to have it in my power render you any advice here in return for the many obligations I feel myself under to you.    
Be pleased to drop me a line as soon as you may have obtained a word in right of Young.
 I am Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient Servant 
T. M. Thompson
Joseph Nourse Esquire}
