sir
I recd your Letter of the 26th ulto yesterday, & Accept your proposal of Seven Dollars ⅌ 100t for your present Crop of tobo—Ten Hhds only, are in: & none Sent to Richmond as you Seem to have expected—I think the price you make me give too high, Either for the Richmd market or future prospects: & Shall therefore Submit it to your Discretion, to lower the price of the Stemed—it is allways lower than Leaf—
I Shall be allways ready to make the payments agreeable to your Letters.—
