Sir ー

Your favo'r of the 14th instant is now before me by which I see you've taken Measures to forward the Yarns to Ipswich to the Care of Capt Jeremiah Stamford for which I thank you, I Expect to pay the same that Mr [Thomas] Cushing did for Hemp, with the proper Consideration, between that and yarns, as you mention which no doubt is right. ー

We have heard of the Valuable prize taken and carried into Boston upon which I most heartily Congratulate you ー With all due respect [&c.]
