to ask as I know I have no claims and I would not if I thought there was the remotest probabily of any one's losing by me - but I do honestly believe that I can with, some means, put myself in a situation to hereafter help others. I ask nothing but a loan & that most amply secured, but I can give no further assurances of the security than my own word & the word of the bearer W. Guthrie who is one of my best friends and one of our best magistrates, he visits New York his return plan for the same purpose I have written to you & William is as he has business down the river I never persuaded him to call on you - I have written to Rufus but have not heard from him I wish you to write to me about him - I saw some time (?) his half brother John Thomas who lives at (Aquahen?), I believe he is doing very well - Should you or William be () to make me a loan I pledge myself to see it (?) at which time as I shall be called on after next May - but I am not wish you or him to do it if it is agoing to be of much inconvenience to you or him - I have no reason to complain of fortune, my present situation is far better than it was a few years ago & if I did not despair at a time when there were but few in the world but what would I have no reason to do so now - I have weathered harder gales than will blow this season - Elizabeth sends her love to you - believe me Your affectionate son Henry Eno Stephen Eno
