This may inform you that we arrived at Martinico after a Passage of 27 Days & could not procure any Mollosses there ー & then proceeded to Guadalupe & there could have got Mollosses from the Kings Plantation at 130 Joann[es] pr 1000lb but the price to high so came down here & are so unluckly as to find the Messrs Jennings's both gone from home but find it impossible to get any here as it is 1000 pc Eight fine to sell any to any Englishman we shall proceed to the Leeward ー I write pr Capt Pendelton pr Stonington & am in great haste
