Auburn June 23d. 1831.
My dear father
When George
dent Republican printed at Goshen. After he left here the
paper still continued to come addressed to him and I did
not stop it because I was willing to receive it and pay
for it in consideration of having intelligence weekly from
Orange County. When I was last at Goshen I went to the
office for the purpose of paying up and discontinuing it
but found no person there competent to transact the busi-
ness with me. I find the charge of Anti Masonic papers
so heavy that I cannot longer take the Republican.
Will you have goodness when you are next at Goshen
to direct the paper to be discontinued, and obtain Mr
Chevee
burse you when I come to Florida or you may have the
bill for me and I will pay over the amount to Mr Chevee
I prefer not rerouting the money first because I have no
near the idea of the amount and 2d because of the post-
age.
I hope your health is reinstated. We are all well
Your's affectionately
W. H Seward
Saml. S. Seward Esq.

My dear father
When George
Birth: 1808-08-26 Death: 1888-12-07
was here he was a subscriber to the Indepen-dent Republican printed at Goshen. After he left here the
paper still continued to come addressed to him and I did
not stop it because I was willing to receive it and pay
for it in consideration of having intelligence weekly from
Orange County. When I was last at Goshen I went to the
office for the purpose of paying up and discontinuing it
but found no person there competent to transact the busi-
ness with me. I find the charge of Anti Masonic papers
so heavy that I cannot longer take the Republican.
Will you have goodness when you are next at Goshen
to direct the paper to be discontinued, and obtain Mr
Chevee
Birth: 1793
's bill which you may either pay and I will reim-burse you when I come to Florida or you may have the
bill for me and I will pay over the amount to Mr Chevee
I prefer not rerouting the money first because I have no
near the idea of the amount and 2d because of the post-
age.
I hope your health is reinstated. We are all well
Your's affectionately
W. H Seward
Saml. S. Seward Esq.
