I am sorry I did not put the proper construction on that part of your Letter where you required me to advise whether there be any Vessell that would take Tobacco in on Consignment, & where bound; Since your last I have made inquiry & find three Vessells Loading at this port on Consignment, their Cargo’s are all made up & not a Hhd can be got in them. But Mr Carlton of this place is Loading a Ship at Alexa. on Consignment to his Friends in London, Wilson & Potts put about two Hundred Hhds in her to them, he Ships himself nearly the same quantity—her Cargo is made up to about 50 hhds & he desires me to inform you he shall be happy of a Consignment to his House in London, the Freight & Primage is 5 Guanies Pr Hhd. She is an Armed Vessell & therefore Expects the Insuran[c]e will be much Lower on that a/c.1

I am happy to hear you are geathering Strength, I hope it will not be long before your Usual Strength & Health returns—Patty & myself were to see Mrs Law Yesterday, she is still weak & has not left her Room—Our best respects to Mrs Washn, yourself, Nelly, Washn &ca & I am Dear sir your Affectionate Servt
