London 15 May 75
Sir!
You have inclosed Acct Sales for 2 hhds of Tobo recd P Roman nt procds £10.6.11 to yr credt which hope will meet your approbation as they bring you more than the country price last year. The Country Cloth you sent over will be finished stampg in a little time but I do not suppose it will be proper for me to send it over to you while your non importation agreement continues. Having sent out 2 large ships this year, The Adventure Capt Brown and the Prospect Capt Norwood, I hope to receive your kind consignments by one if not by both of them, by which you will probably gain a considerable advantage as the Price of Tobacco has risen here of late very much I am with regard &ー
