Dear Lee:
You will not forget that you owe me a horse or something in the
shape of one, for the bay I turned into your Corps twelve Months ago. I
am not in immediate want; But in some cases it is necessary to remind a
Man of his debt lest he should forget his creditor. I do not apply this
to you,
because I am sincerely and Affectly Yrs.
