York (which can be used at par here;) for his money. He is not in the habit of carrying money, & I fear he might lose it, or some one will rob him; I was Paymr in the late War, & had my Head Qrs. in your city for nearly 2 yrs. I always paid in the front. I should like to visit your city where I have friends & relatives Very Truly yrs Chambers Baird
