Thos. [Thomas] W Baxter Athens georgia
Dear sir,
Contrary to my expectations I am yet here and my Cherokee business remains unfished [unfinished] . I am now induced to believe it will be completed next week -- though it may require much longer. If it none finished I could not then leave until the arrival of governor Lumpkin having to attend to some business with him before I leave here. Some time since I instructed my partners at home to pay all debts due from the Stores as fast as collections could be made If any remains unpaid to you, I will allow you ten percent interest on it until payment is made and have it attended to assoon [as soon] as possible after my return,
yours & c. [et cetera]
[Signed] Wm [William] H Thomas
