Dear George,
I arrived here on Friday 11 A.M. & found a letter from Judge Breighton, (who had on Wednesday adjourned the Court ‘till Friday Morning gone home informing me that he could no further proceed with the business of the court. I accordingly immediately repaid to the Courthouse, and [disposed] of these jury trials before dinner, in the evening of two more and yesterday of five. Tho’ there are about 40 trails yet on the docket, I am in some hopes of finishing the business in the [close] of next week at the monday after.
I shall write you again when at [Bennington], and tell you that when on way here, I saw an officer of the Army, a Cap’t C Cerk, son of Old Rifle, who inform’d me that he was well acquainted with Leut. Taylor, the gentleman who borrow’d cash of me at N. York; that he has often heard Taylor mention me, and of his acquaintance with me at N. York. Tay has lately has a duel with Maj Mclaughlin exchanged too shots, & wounded Mr Mclaughlin each time. Tho’ not dangerously.
Give my love to your dear Aunt & all the family.
Yours & theirs most affectionately
D. Chase
