Your letters of {2m#} & of {2m#} were duly recd. The articles referred to in the first were safely delivered & in every respect satisfactory.

On comparing it with a sample brought us by the Waggoner, of Mr...

My overseer says that he can not immediately follow up the waggoning his Tobo. & wishes the 2 Hhds. on hand to be sold without waiting for more, being apprehensive that the order in which the Tobo. was priced, may render delay unfavorable to the sale, by limiting it to the manufacturers.
