Sir the foregoing is a Coppy of what I wrote you by Capt [James] Angell who Sail'd this day with a Good Wind & hope he will arrive safe ー I gave him orders to Sett his Jack at his foremast head that incase you had any fresh orders you may have an opportunity of conveying them on board before he comes to anchor In about three weeks I expect another Cargoe of Sugars which I shall send round the same way, if I have pleasing Sales of this Cargoe I shall want the pay soon and I make no doubt but you'l endeavour to get a good Price for them. should be Glad you would get what little Freight you can (at the same time not detain the Vessell) give my Compliments to Mr T & D M & tell them any freight they will put on board will be so much saved to them The Hubbards may have some freight I hope you will be at Cohassett so as to give Angell directions about Entering and to have no mistake or Difficulty, for I think I have had my share. Angell will Enter Just as you think will answere, of this I must entirely leave with you and flatter myself you'l make all the saving you Can ー Let me hear from you the return of the post with the price Current, Politiks &c ー I am Dr Sir [&c.]
