Daniel Carroll to Thomas Sim Lee

I have to acknowledge yr two favors of instant. You will see by the enclos’d receipt that Mrs Lee’s Shoes have been sent to the Care of Mr Buchanan in Baltimore to whom I wrote by the Stage Waggon.

Not having receivd any orders from you about your Curricle it has remaind with the Coachmaker with whom Mr Forrest left it. I shall let you know what can be done with it.

Mr Mullahan is return’d to the City but I cannot obtain a shilling from him. What I give him a receipt for amounted to the sum I was to receive out of what was to be payd in Pha. of the last years sallary, as near as I can ascertain. I do not know to what time exactly the £4 per diem extended. From that Time the guinea per day sets itself, & I presume there is due me to this time about £110 on the last allowance. If I was to receive the whole of that, it woud not pay my necessary expences, but it might enable me to prepare to return. I have wrote to Mr Wright desiring him to inform me whether I may expect him, or not.¹ I shall determine what to do on receiving his answer.

Please to present me to Your Lady. I am Dear Sr with esteem Your Mo Affte Hble Serv, Danl. Carroll
