Chesterville, March 6, 70.

W. G. VanDerlip, Esq.

Sir:  I am happy to inform you that I arrived safely in Chesterville, about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, being detained until that time by an accident that happened to the boat: thence I went to Mr. Adam's, who had been to the wharf but had not seen me, owing to the late time I arrived.

I will trouble you for Reports and a Roll Book and for all other things you deem necessary.

With hopes that I may succeed in my new sphere of duty, I remain with respect your obedient servant,
[[signature]] Andrew F. Hill. [[/signature]]

N.B. — You will find my bill of expenses annexed.
