Gentlemen

I had the honour of writing to you 27th Ulto pr the Brigantine Britannia a Nantucket Whaler which I Sent in under the Care of Lieut [William] Grinnell. ー Also 4th Currt pr the Brigt Sea Nymph from Barbadoes for London which I Sent in under the Care of Mr [William] Hopkins Master of the Providence with a particular Accot of my Cruise till that time ー nothing has Since happened till last Night when I took the Brigantine Favourite laden with Sugar from Antigua for Liverpool as pr Custom House Certificates herewith inclosed ー as this Vessel did not Sail from Antigua till 18th Ulto my future Success must be very uncertain the West Indies is very much thinned of Shipping & I have already Succeeded beyond my expectations however I will not yet give up the pursuit. I Send this Vessel in under the Care of Mr [Joseph] Vesey my Actg Master - Since I dispatched the Sea Nymph I have understood that there is a very considerable property in Wine & Cask over & above what is enumerated in her Clearances ー I hope this may appear in time to take measures accordingly. ー I herewith forward you a large Bag of letters which may I hope contain some useful Information. ー Some of them contain Bills of Lading for the Cargo. ー As I have no Clerk I hope to be excus'd for not Sending Copies of my for mer Letters. I have the honor to be with gratefull Esteem and much respect Gentlemen [&c.]
