Newburyport Octo 1st 1776
Dear Brother White:
I am told you have the Care of fixing out a privateer Sloop for some Gentlemen in Boston ー and that its probable I might thro' your good Means obtain a small Share in her ー You'll really oblige me if you can procure me an 1/8th or even 1/16th in this or any other now gone or going soon.
You know a little Expence is not looked At now and if any One can secure a Share in what is going forward in that Way Capt White can ー I hope Hannah and all is well I am with Truth & Esteem [&c.]
Tristram Dalton
To Mr Samuel White At Capt Job Prince Boston
