 the Kitchen (under one of the Rooms already mentfoned.) There are good Stables but for 12 horses only. and a Coach house which win hold all my Carriages.
 Speaking of carriaKes-I have left my coach to receive q thorough repair against return (wh ich I expect will happen before the ist sof December) and request you will visit Mir. Clark Unto whose hands it is committed) of- ten. to see 1t well done; and that may not be disappointed in the time allowed him for the completion, which Is by the 25th of November. The har- ness Is also left with him. and he has my ideas on this subject-generally they are. If the wheel harness (which, understand. was left at New Yorlx) can be made complete. and look as well as if they were new, then and in that case, he is to make a set of pole-end har- ness to suit them, both to be plated but if this cannot be accomplished, the set is to be made entirely new--and in the best style. e
 T have requested Colonel Riddle to take measure for laying in wood for me, this being. he thinks. the proper time for doing 1t. and to draw upon you for the. amount of cost.
 The pressure of business under which I labored for several days be- fore left New York, allowed me no time to enquire who of the female ser wants it was proposed or thought ad- visable to remove here. besides the wives of the footmen--namely. Jurnes and F.das. The washerwomen, be- Ifece. are good, but as they, or. one of them. at least, has a, family of chill dren--quere. whether 1t is necessary to encumbersthe murch--and, the family afterwards with them? I neither con- tradict or advise the measufe--your own judgment. and the circumstances of the case must decide the point: but un- less there is better reason than I am acquainted with for bringing Mrs. Lewis. her daughter and their family along. they had better. should con ceive. be left; but as I never investi- gated the subject, I will give no de- cisive opinion thereon.
 ''As MT. Hyde some little time be- fore I left New York expressed dis satisfaction, signifying he could neither enjoy under the conduct of the ser- wants the happiness he wished. or rem der those services he thought might be expected of him, 1t might be we'll for you before am at the expense of his removal, to know decidedly what his determination is, and his views in re- speet to a contin -ssce. There can be no propriety in saddling me with the cost of. his transportation, and that of his baggage, if he has it in contempla-s s tion to leave me at, or soon after his arrival. And I am rather inclined to make this suggestion now as time will allow you to scrut;nize his accounts, and to form, good comparative view of them with Francis's. As a stewart. I am satisfied William Independent of the woman. and what her excellence is | really know not) would be full his equal--and think the dinners. if the cook had more agency in the planning of them, would be better; at least more tasty. but this Mir. and Mrs. Hyde's pride will not submit to. As-I have got \ to, the end of the paper and am tired, shall add that your letter of the 3d. with its enclosures, came safe-and that Mrs. Washington joins me in best wishes for Mrs. Lear and yourself. am sincerely and affectionately
