I wrote to Captain J. W. Mostyn at Greenville and received a letter to forward my bills which had not commenced, and a verbal recept. go to continue. & then commenced to attend the sick. I attended four cases and went to Greenville with my acts ($160) T.W. Mostyn was not acting when I went Greenville

Mostyn who stated to Capt Stanburg the nature of my bill, Capt Stanburg approved of what had been done and tole me that my money would be collected and he requested me to continue. I was not imployed for any specified for any length of time & no price was mentioned for services & could have prescribe for eight or ten light cases but did not. I have been very moderate in my charges but
