Your letters of the 18 & 19th instant I have received, and immediately caused an entry to be made of the books by the invoice, amo of duties paid $5840⁄   the invoice—&ca I now enclose—I also enclose an account of the expenses I have paid, I have not been called upon for all the freights, perhaps I shall not be, it will be time enough to charge them when paid—I now shall wait only a few days to remove all apprehensions from the equinoctial gales, & shall then improve the first good opportunity to send the package of books to Richmond—
