Gentlemen
Since I wrote you last by Capt [Jonathan] Leeds in the Sloop Polly and Capt [Edward] Chappell in the Sloop Betsey are both sail'd for Phila and my Friend Peter Vandervoort writes me that they arived in N York and would Sail from last Monday, so that I flatter myself they will arive by the time this comes to hand and make no Doubt but you will despatch them with their Cargoes soon as possible the method of Clearing out must leave to you. Inclosed is two Letters for them which deliver, am Glad to hear West India Goods are on the Rise, as I have had them so long on hand immagine they will pay the extra. I have not heard from W[illiam] Leeds in the Schooner Pompy [Pompey] Since I left Phila am much concem'd about him if any Vessell should arive from Guadalupe should be glad you would inquire of him ー If you have any late News from Grat Britian be so kind as to let me know, as I imagine the first we hear will be of great importance to this contry I am Gent [&c.]
