Description
Letter from J[oh]n Drayton to James Glen, regarding the health of their families, commenting on his request that Charles return to South Carolina and the latter's noncompliance, instructing him not to advance Charles a Shilling more on my acco[un]t," asserting that Charles remained in England on the pretense of preparing for his profession "whilst all that time I am his Slave making money for him to spend at his ease, & suffering in a hot firey furnice to give him pleasure"; Charles squandering money and opportunity, remarking that "his Brother William also has disobliged me much & has run through a great part of his Fortune," requesting that he ignore all Charles' requests for money, reviewing their accounts, and explaining the cause of Glen's small crop.
