Dr sir/

Will you be so kind as put the two Letters now inclosed on board the first two Vessells that offer for the West Indies. The Craft that carries this has in a large part of the Corn for Harvey's Brig & I have taken the liberty of directing Him to apply to you a Fan to run it thro ー I will pay the Hire of one if you'll please to procure it for Him.

To save trouble & expence, we have concluded to buy the Staves we want at Norfolk, & shall be much obliged to you if any offer, to engage us 7½ m White Oak staves & 2½ m of Heading which my Brother will pay Cash for next week when He will be down to ship them. I am Dr Sir [&c.]
