[Extract]

I Refer you to many letters I have wrote both you and G[eorge] Darley lately. this goes by Capt [George] Robinson who sales this day if the Winds permit. I Refer you to a Coppy of all the letters I have wrote Robinson & Sandwith which I now Indose you. by which you will see how I have transacted their business & hope to their Satisfaction. I have Shipped on our own Acct 11 £78 Currency which I have Consigned to G.D. and drawn on him for 439.17.2 Sterl . . . I Refer to G.D. for what I have said about the bill on him. and also about the Servants. I make no doubt of Yr Being [in] Dublin on the Arrival of this Vessell. and as I see no probabillity of you getting here soon you have better send me a power to Sell you[r] House. I have not wrote to [James] Ford yet about the Wheat as I have not yet got a Vessel and am much Affraid I will not get any however I shall do all in my Power to get one. . . . I have wrote to all our Corrispondence by this Conveyance Save the Dro[g]heda people . . . Expect a Sloop from Old Titcomb² every day from Falmouth . . . I have now inclosed you a list of all the Cargo on board the Brig Hope. perhaps the Owners may think that the freight I Procured should not be Recond in the Quantity we were to put on board, but of that you may Easy Satisfy them that precuring it without Expence to them is Equal Shipping besides I shipped 45 Hhds of the Seed, and sold it when on board. if you send any more Vessels out on the Same footing indeavor to let What we Ship on our own Acct go into the Hands of the Owners, if Good men, on their Agreeing to pay our Bills to the Amt of two thirds of the Value we Ship. that is in Case G.D. finds is inconvenient so to do it will be to our Advantage if You Settle with Vickers, Wheat 7/ a 7/2 Expected lower as the most of the Vessels are loaded. Indeed you never Seen so many Vessels here as was this Winter at one time & most of them Learge.
