1794
Greensburg "Dear nephew I received your letter of the 10 (?) of May
informing me of your design of coming to this country and
desiring my advice therein. I cannot warrant your suckcess
[success?] in this undertaking but can say this much
for your encouragement that this is a good country for a
young man of character who can behave himself discreetly and
is inclined to industry; your trade is not of much account
here but there is business anuff [enough?] for
such a stout young man; I aprehend [apprehend?] would make
better out of farming if you came, loosing [losing?] no time
in coming out to this part of the country where
I live; I know of no other place in this country for a young
man to get into business. Enquire for Greensburg in
Westmoreland (?) County.
if in life you may expect to your success under
the blessing of God your own good conduct and
according to this you will be asteemed [esteemed?] with me
in general in this country. I mentioned this by way caution
for your advantage. You can refresh yourself with me until
you find what is best for you to do; if I can be of anny
[any?] service to you it will not be wanting your
affectionate uncle David Pollock.
P.S. N.B. Perhaps your uncle Robert may venture along with
you."
