Dear William
Enclosed I hand you a letter for Hannah White, which please give her. The object is to know if she can come here
in two or three weeks, or sooner, if convenient. We are about to begin house keeping I & shall have occassion for
her. From the difficulty of getting settled here I could not send for her sooner, or in fact, be of that use to her that
I would wish, as she was put under my care on coming to this country. If she cannot write me an answer, perhaps
thou would do it for her. Please let me hear any little particulars about her - I mean about her conduct and
demenior. I should like to hear of her propriety in all respects very much. With my love to Anne, I am
Thine affectionately
Thomas Nicholson.
