The 30. barrels of flour which in mine of the 9th I informed you that Johnson had taken off for me, he deposited at Columbia, returned here and took on board the balance for a full load, of which 6. more barrels were for me. he left this about a week ago to proceed to Richmond with the who[le] where he will have delivered you 36. barrels for me.

these with the 57.D. on hand, besides paying the 125.D. to messrs Leroy & Bayard will, I presume authorize me to draw for 75.D. more, which I should not do till Johnson’s return & production of the actual reciept, but that I set out for Be[dford]1 in 2. or 3. days & shall need that sum for my journey[.] this draught therefore I must make before my departure. Accept the assurance of my friendship & respect.
