Mr. Venable having been so much longer than he expected in getting an answer respecting the money which we calculated on obtaining from his friend on loan—has caused me I fear, to delay from day to day to write to you, for a longer time than I should have done: I thought it however the less necessary to write before he received an answer, as I informed you that you might be assured of getting...

I am favor’d with yours by to nights post—I think I wrote you by last post that the chimney piece was forwarded to Phila. I am however not certain—having written in haste, & which having been of but little consequence I did not copy.

The price of Tobacco having continued stationary from the date of my last until a few days past, and having then rather declined, on receipt of intelligence that it had become so very dull in Philadelphia & New York that scarcely any sales were made, and of course that the prices in those places were merely nominal; I concluded, in compliance with your instruction , to make sale of yours—which...

The wreck’d articles were forwarded to Milton yesterday.—The boxes were found to be right, there having been 15, exclusive of Mr. Burwells—no bill of lading came with them, or the mistake would not have been made.—I omitted in my hurry to take the numbers of the 3 missing casks, to enable you to replace the articles they contained. The mill stones have likewise been received & forwarded.—Some...
