Francis W. Gilmer to Dabney Carr

My dear friend— Steam Boat— 3d May.

I was so busy on Saturday I could not go to seek you— I did not know you had come, & here I am on my way far from you without shaking your hand—Keep my council, and tell no one where I am gone, for what, or any thing about the matter—Say I am gone north, which is true,

but not so true, as that I am yours &c.
F. W. Gilmer

Secrecy is all important to me any way.

RC (ViU: FWG); endorsed by Carr: “F. W Gilmer May 3d 1824.”
