We have so little on hand that a markt price for Virga cannot be mention'd ー Our Ships are however daily expected & in a month or two, we may form some idea of a market price in London ー Shd be glad to know how things rule in Glasgow & the latest American Intelligence you have particularly from Virga I am &c
