Dear Sir
For the benefit of Capt. McGorggy I write you a few lines which will inform you that the Captain is stoping at my house and that in a few days after he came here he made a trip to Elba in Coffee Co. and was taken verry sick & it was with difaculty that he made his return. He is now confined to his bed & has a Physician. I think however he is improving and will be able for business in a day or two. If thare is any seeming nglect of business that the Capt. ought to have attended to it is not his fault. He has conducted himself well since he came here and has made many friends
