& would give good Security so that you might think me
Safe I Should be glad for it. Is a Great Damage to me
to be so Disappointed. I would take Sixteen hundred pound
for her upon good Security. I would be glad you would use your
Interst for me. {Colonel} Payton I Know want^s a Vessell but
would have her Something Larger than this. But cant get one
for him as I wrote him and what Ever you agree to there to for for you

believe {Colonel} Payton would have taken her before if it had not
ben for {Captain} Morton of whome I have as Small opinion as you
