Gentlemen
We have already wrote you {per} the same
Conveyances concerning making Insurance on our Schooner
Dolphin {Captain} Richard Waite master, as also have sent {you} on the
third bills to use in Case of need. The first & second bills {Captain}
Waite has forwarded you amount to [pound symbol]381.7.1. sterling & hope
they are paid & that it will not be long before you receive bills
for the Cargo She now has, as also what Freight she will make
to London, as we have given {Captain} Waite orders to remitt h[?] effects
to you on our acc^tt. I have herein Inclosed you a pattern for
a piece 26 yards of a blue masarene superfine broad Cloth @ 16/6
or [7?]/. {per} yard sterling, with a piece of fine Shalloon suitable to the
Cloth & a bagg of fashionable buttons with Twist & 6 {per} english
sole Leather @ 2/. {per}. Would begg the Favour of you, that they
may be well bought & shipt {per} the first opportunity being for
my own wear - am sensible these things are out of your
way, but as I intend to order what remittances I shall make,
to your House, If you would do me the Favour to send these
things, should be oblidged to you. As to the Goods I wrot you
for last Fall hope daily to receive, after which shall write
you more [l?]arge & am with Respect

Gentlⁿ
{your} Very {humble} {Servant}

P.[S?] desire the fav^r of you to insure what you
send me - {Messers} Silwell & C^o

Sir
Yours {per} {Captain} Beacon came safe to hand I rec'd
22^d March, as also a Letter to {Mister} Hubbard & me for a Vesselle to be sent upon
charter subscribed by {Colonel} {Benjamin} Payton & {Captain} Stone, which we shall endeavour to
send assoon a^spossible, Vessells at present being very scarce [to?] hire or buy. Should
be very glad if you would desire {Captain} Payton for the Future to consign to me alone
as I am not in partnership with {Mister} Hubbard or any one else & believe I can transact
his business as well. Believe {Mister} Hubbard's design in sending his Vessell to your River
was to get Consignments in partnership with me, which would not suit me but
this by the by. Since my last have rec'd Skins & Hides from {Colonel} Payton, & have
shipt him more than the effects, as he has promis'd to remitt me {per} the first opportunity.

{Mister} Guin has also consign'd me his Schooner upon your recommendation, for
which I return you hearty thanks & intend she shall sail today. Have disposed
of his Tarr [&?] sent him acc^tt Sales & have shipt him nigh all his effects, but had
advanced the Cash for all I sent him before I sold his Tarr. It has been unlucky
for him this embargo has been laid not only as to disposing of his Tarr, but detain
-ing his Vessell upon Charge, for I should have sent her back three days after she
came in if it had not been for that. I am now about buying a Vessell for
[?] {Mister} Guin, as I cannot hire one. If she should not suit him, shall order her to {Colonel}
Payton who is willing to be concerned with me in a Vesselle to use the Trade.
Have sent you the druggs you wrote for which if they suit you, you are welcome
to. We are all well & I am in Respect to you & Spouse w^ch [Concludes?] me,

Sir
{your} Very {humble} {Servant}

P.S I understand {Mister} Snoad is going to be married
to {Colonel} Payton's daughter, wish him much happiness
