&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;believe his father had ever spoken so of me and asked me to whom. he had spoken to [and?] without [inflicting?] observed to you for [one] but did not say any particular thing he had said to you about me. because you did not say what he did say but you observed that he had spoken unfavorably of me and of Major Smith. I am fully satisfied in my mind that Mr [Lofland?] has purr sued this cause towards me. [If?] I have to judge from no other circumstances than this. that any relation [Robert Pitzer?] his son in law before his marriage was in the habit of calling at my [House] and I acted the part of friend to him and [sine?] his marriage though he has been invited he has never crossed my Door had he not been prejudice against me shared by Robert Pitzer would not have broken off his friendships and duty from one who has been the friend of his mothers family As to this matter as Mr Lofland [seems] to take the [third?] very unkindly I will inform him when I see him or one of his sons. That he has behave badly towards me by [interfering?] when I had sold a young negroe girl that I raised to one of his nearest neighbors. The [gentle?] informs me he called this House a short time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

I find I think when I inform him of this he will not likely think so hard of my only saying he had used my name too freely to my relatives I believe the principle reason why I did mention your name being you are a connect tion is this. When [the?] Torills children named in this [?] last spring or fall they [named] think a week at old Loflands and did come to see either your Cousin Davids fam ily or mine I went with Harvey Lofland at Church and [Mr. Torills?] son was with him. I did not know him. he stood within [?] length of me while I talked to Harvey and he did not even mention his name to me s- judging from all things as they appeared [to me] Mr Loflands must have—prejudiced any [relatives] against us. My respects to Uncle Robt and his family and to grandfathers family Yours Respectfully Robert M [Shyle?]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
