Wake County, NC - Alexr. Erskine to Dr. Jones, 1813

Union, Monroe County, Virginia, October 7th, 1813

Dr. Jones

Dr. Sir

   On the receipt of this you will no doubt be a little surprised to 
find the signature of a person with whom you have never had any 
acquaintance; but when you discover my object for addressing you, you 
will them be satisfyed.

   Sir, I have had it in contemplation for some time past to engage in 
the study of Physic & having heared a good character of you as a 
Physician and Raleigh as a place I have chosen it for that purpose 
provided. I shall be as well pleased with the terms of living, as I 
think I will be with Raleigh. You will therefore do me a particular 
favour in letting me know, as soon as you possibly can, whether or not 
you yet take students? What will be your fee, for what sum boarding 
can be had in that place, as my going to that Country, will be in great 
measure depend on these things. By complying with this you will very 
much oblige, your friend.

Doct. Calvin Jones.   }             Alexr. Erskine
