Gent
We wrote you the 8t Inst inclosing Sundry Bills Amotg to £533.1.8 Stg which Hope will all be duly honour'd, even give a little time for Some of them rather than to return them, (if made Secure). We now inclose you Hugh Young's draft on John Brown of Liverpool for £350 Stg which when pd pass to our Credit. Bills are not to be had now or Should have made a much larger Remittance ー We recd a Letter yesterday from Vierne & Veillon in which they mention their fear that the Sidney will be Condemn'd & that the Accot[s] of Murray & Son are very unjust. they Say we may depend our Interest Shall be taken as much Care of as if their own.2 Should they be oblig'd to pay their Accots, you'll then procure them & recover from the Underwriters. we Shall lose very heavily by that Affair but we depend you'll do everything in your power to make it as light as possible We are Gent [&c.]
