Falling into bad health, he went to Philadcl-

that his health was worse than he thought, and
that he could not live, he wrote TO relative OF
HIS cd master tU come OIL for him, which this
gentleman did, and stayed with him. and brought
him back to Virginia ut his request He died
shortly after his return, not long since, aud by
his LAST will left all his estate to this gentleman,
IS well As his wife and children, who are thus
the slaves Of his friend, trusting of course that
he would care for them ami provide for them.
