Dear Sir
My last letter will carry you the bill of exchange, which I carelessly omitted in the one preceding it. I hand herewith your ℀ current to date, agreeable to your request, which I have no doubt will be found correct.— Your last dft: favor A Robertson for $66 has not yet appeared, nor has the bundle or bill from Petersburg yet appeared.— I have found no Boat to take your Herrings Shad & Nail Rods to Milton, & Of course have not perchased them—they will be sent by the first Boat—
In haste
Very respectfully sir Your Mo Obd Sevt
