I was favor’d this morning with your esteemed letter of the 9th current: I have just waited on Mr Gibson & find that the Brilliant Capt Block with your Wines arrived safely several days since & it is now in his possession, my young Man is this moment looking out for a Boat to carry up one Box, which I have no doubt he will obtain, the balance shall certainly be forwarded by Johnson at his next trip, Gilmer has ceased to be a Waterman, which I regret very much as himself & Johnson alone were to be trusted amongst them.—   The Brilliant was detained a considerable time by Ice on her passage—   The Box of Wines to be forwarded to-day shall be well secured & I hope will reach you without adulteration.

Your Plough & Box of Seeds have been shipped to their several points of destination—
