By last night’s mail I recieved information from mr Griffin1 that 19. hhds of my tobo. were already at Richmond, and that the two remaining ones would go immediately. he also inclosed me the manifests of the 19. which I herein inclose to you and on the next leaf you will see a list of the numbers & weights, making in the whole 36,509. ℔. in the 21. hhds. I wish it to be sold as soon as you possibly can, so as to get it’s value. according to your last advices I presume I may expect 7. Dollars for it. I could not admit well a credit of more than 60. days. perhaps you may obtain ready paiment for the amount I owe you, to wit the balance of the last account, the coal ordered and the hams. be so good as to let me know your prospects, and the actual sale as soon as it takes place as it will ease the arrangements I have to make. Accept my affectionate salutations.
