Sir

Above is a list of the articles now sent by the Waggons. No. 2. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 12. 13. 15. 16. 20 will go by water. No. 17. and 39 appears missing, a package No. 60 remains here which I presume is one of the Packages missing and that the Box sent to Edmd. Randolph Esqr is probably the other. No. 19. will be reserved for Mr. Eppes and delivered to your Order. Not a Gloster Cheese to be had in town, have sent you a Wiltshire which I hope will please. With Respect I am Sir Your Obet Servt,

James Brown

Mr. Donald begs to be remembered to you. The Biscuit and a Cask Cyder, if to be had, will go by next opportunity. Should any Salt be wanted, you will please write me.

RC (MHi); endorsed as received 24 Dec. 1789 and so recorded in SJL.

1An error for £7 2s., the amount for the cheese being miscalculated.
