Sloop with Long Staves, if you Can make Out so as to Clear your Vessel for Hispaniola at the Custom House before the 20th Instant, for After that time I Suppose no Vessel Can Clear out for a Forreign Port² ー if you Can't Get Loaded by that Time you must Come home in Ballast unless you Can Get a freight to Some Port in the West Indies or if you Can Sell her for Three Hundred Pounds Phila Currency Sell her, if you Load for the West Indies do you Sail for Hispaniola & do the best you Can in the Sail of your Cargoe and Purchase Gun Powder & Return as Soon as you Can ー if that Article is not to be had Purchase Brown Sugar and Coffee ー Dont keep this Letter on Board for Fear of Accidents but burn it. ー 1 Imagin after the 20th of this Month you Cannot Clear out for N. London if that should be the Case you may Come Home in Ballast without Clearing out and Get me Two Thousand feet of Good Long Yellow Pine Plank 2½ Inch for the Brigg Nancy Deck have not to add but shall write you again by the next Post, if Nothing Extra Happens  I am Sr Yours &c
