Sir.

Cap^t. Conway¹ having declined serving us any longer in the Molly,² we were at a Loss for a Cap^t. for her: M^r. Van Bibber³ undertook to procure one who might be depended on and we left the Terms to himself, he agreed with Cap^t. Dan^l. Deshon, and agreed he should have the Freight of two Hd^ds. Previlege Freight of his own Goods, fully the Produce, of his Venture out Freight free back, in what Articles he pleases except Salt, and that he should draw one fourth of the Commissions. Cap^t. Van Bibber says Deshon might have had any Vessel in Baltimore, and we have no Doubt but he is very clever. We think it proper to give you this Information, left open with the Captain⁴ and are Sir &^ca.
