Your favor of the 8th. inclosing manifests for 29 Hhds Tobacco was duly received.

The Tobacco is not yet sold. the price at which I hold it is 7½$—I have received no offer for it, but have been told by several persons that they should be glad to purchase it if I would take a more reasonable price. I think I could now get 7$—but as the last advices from Europe are more favorable than they have been for several years past, I think there will be no danger in holding it until towards the 12th. of July, when you wish to make the payment you mention.—

I inclose you a copy of the decree requested in yours of the 13th.

I am Dear Sir Yr. Very humble Servt.
