London 13 July 1775
Dear Sir!
I have before me yr favr of May 6 & June 3d ー none of my Lrs from Virga mention yr having any Tobo on board the Adventure therefore none is insured. The Underwriters that stand out will not settle without a law Suit wch shall be commenced as soon as Mr Browne returns, as he is a material witness; I do not therefore send yr Acct Currt the Ball: of wch is in yr favr but very trifling; if your Tobo comes the price proceds must be apply'd to pay Fisher, yr Brs bill being already to yr debt. In this transaction of yr affairs I shall give the same attention as to my own. I have no doubt of the Americans proving themselves worthy descendants of Englishmen. Capt [Nathaniel] Falconer will tell you the news we have here. I am &c
P.S. You had a copy of yr Acct Curt sent last month since wch there is no alteration
