From Patrick Gibson
Richmond 28th August 1815
Sir
I have received your favor of the 19th advising sundry drafts on me, which shall be duly attended to—I send you inclosed a note for your signature to renew the one in bank due next month—Our flour market is declining rapidly the present price is 8$ for new wheat 8/.—Tobacco still keeps up notwithstanding the very discouraging accounts from Europe or rather from England as prices on, the Continent are high considering the qualities sent there—
