Agreeable to the request contained in yours of the 4th, have procured, & will forward this day to Lynchburg the four Boxes of Tin ordered—

Until the rest of yours now before me, never heard of your wish to transmit a bill for $500 to S. Williams of London—Jefferson Randolph wrote me some time ago that you would need $500, & asked me to advance it for you, which I wrote him I would do with pleasure, & have been constantly expecting your dft: for it ever since—

I have this day procured a bill of exchange, on London, netting $500 there, payable to Saml Williams, which I shall forward in duplicates this day—pr ships Talgho & Francis one for London & the other for Liverpool— I supposed you wished the nett sum of $500, in William’s hands, & have so remitted, desiring it to be placed at your credit—you can or have directed him how to apply it—
