12 mo. 6th 1869
Port Tobacco Charles Co. Md.

Mr. Swain

Sir:  The people are not ready to pay for the books in the month & I think that I would rather wait until they are able. And as I have got Mr Wilmer to stand security for my boots until the 10th of this month I would like for you to send my salary before that time and you will oblige 

your obedient Servent
