more for your advantage to sell it than keep it. & I would have done
just so if it had been my own. When the Tarr is delivered shall
send you acct. sales & your balla. Would be glad of a line
from you {per} first opportunity. I am

Guin taking {the} vessel. To be sure I was accordingly exceedingly
disappoin'ed in the man & as I have wrote him
