Dear Sir!
Inclosed you have sales for 1 hhd of Tobo recd P the Friendship, Roman nt procds £6.9.4 to yr credt which for once will I hope prove quite satisfactory; but shd. it not, the only remedy I can think of, is to advise you to ship 2 hhds this year, for as the price here [h]as risen very much of late, you may thereby make; amends for any former losses; & as your charge of delinquency has hitherto laid heaviest on your old Fd he ought in Justice to have the largest share of yr favr that he may have an oppty of redeeming his lost share of yr esteem. I take it for granted that you will be Chaplain general to the Virga Forces. God speed you, & render you successful in the Noble Contention is the earnest prayer of yr affect &cー
P.S. my best respects attend yr good Lady & Family
