[Extract]

I wrote you a Very long letter of the 29th June by Capt [James] Camble [Campbell] Via Cork, which is some time out of the Capes, and I assure you I am Glad, as I was fearfull of its falling into the hands of the men of War. I also wrote you the 1 Ith July, by Capt [Peter] Templeton Via Cork. to boath I refer you ー since then none of your favours. ー its Unnecessary for me to Say more About the Schooner² than I have done. the Directions I sent you by her when she first went to Dublin must be a better Guide than all I could say at present beside if any of our friends want to try a little that way, you Can from them Directions & your own knowledge give them proper Advice, ー I have hinted to Willcocks & Co & T[homas] McCabe,³ that such Matters might be done & referd them to you, they are the only too I have wrote to. . . .

I would advise you not to Come out if you find a probabillity of any thing being done in the former Scheme of the Schooner with any friends. I think you might give your friends Incouragemt & you may be Assured Money may be made. you have Inclosed a list of Goods Much Wanted, and likely to be so, as no man will be such a fool, as to bring in Goods from England or Ireland.
