P.S. if {the} Druggett or Saddle should not suit you, you shall be welcome
to send it back again. You did not write me what colour you chose
for {the} Druggett but sent you {the} most fashionable.

{Mr} Michael Coutanch

Sir
This confirms the copy of my last to you
since w'ch have none of yours. Have inclos'd you Invoice &
Bill Lading for sundry merchandise amount'g w'th charges to £ 124.8.6
& hope it will prove to content. You may be a little surpris'd
to find the price of all goods especially English so risen but do
assure you I gave the cash down for all I have inclose you
that you might have them at the lowest prices. As to the oxen-
briggs, believe I have sent more than you want. If so, be pleas'd
to dispose of {the} Remainer for my acctt. & remitt me in light pay.
But it was w'th great difficulty I could obtain any to send, but
hav'g orders from {Mr} Adams to send 50 [Ells?], thought I would take
a Bolt & send the rest to you. Fully design'd to have sent you
acctt. sales & would have done it, if the sloop had been detain'd
a day or two longer. However have sent you {the} Invoice wrote
for, & will forward {the} sales {per} first opportunity. Am w'th respect
& offers of further service

Sir
y. Very humb. Servt.

PS. have paid {Mr} Scolly accord'g to {your} order
