Thomas Brockenbrough to Arthur Spicer Brockenbrough
4 June 1825

Richmond 4th June 1825
Dr Brother

    I received your two last favors, the latter without date enclosing a Check for $43.70 on Acct of the hire of John last year for which I annex you a receipt and thank you as I am always pushed for money -- I have not yet seen Mr Drew from whom I purchased the porter I will endeavour to get a deduction made the first time I see him --

    I have made enquiry of several Mechanicks about the Sledge hammers on the McAdam road making system, and none of them appear to know what kind they are -- Hutcheson and Humes both say if they had a proper description of them they should be immediately made -- Will you please give a sketch of them --

    I must refer you to Mr. J. W. Brockenbrough for the News Yours Respy.


Tho: Brockenbrough
