Sir ー

My last respects was the 30th May. I then forwarded you duplicate of sales of Captain Pullar's cargo, with bill of lading, and invoice of what I shipped in return. Also the Hon. [New York] Congress's account current ー balance due me, £620 7s. 2d. If you find it right, I shall be much obliged to you to pay it to Messrs. Curson and Seton, as I owe them a large sum.

Powder continues in great plenty; it has lately been sold as low as 30s. per cwt. Will not you be in want of blankets next winter? They may be had here at 2 and 3s. a piece.

Provisions are like to be very much wanted soon; there is but little good in these islands. If we have not larger supplies than heretofore we may suffer much. The English islands already feel the effect of America withdrawing their trade from them; and some begin to think with us, Great Britain will lose her object. I am, with great respect, sir, [&c.]
