I thought I had agreed with you at Hartford that you should take my Horses from Mr: David Bulls and send them on to NYork where I expected to hear of their arrival in three or four days, and at an expence of four or five dollars, or at the utmost of seven or eight, for this was the amount of the conversation, between you & Mr. Briesler who attended me.1 You may judge then how much I was surprized, when an account was brought to Philadelphia amounting to more than Five Pounds, of New England Lawful money; barely for riding or leading the Horses and their keeping on the road, and this surprise was not a little encreased when another account arrived amounting to more than Five Pounds more for keeping the horses at Hartford; besides in this last Account, I was charged for keeping the Horses at Hartford from the 19th of Novr:, the day I set off from my own House at Quincy near Boston. It was the 26th of Novr that I left Mr: David Bulls House, and I have his receipt for the money I paid him for keeping the horses, till the time of my departure from his house— In short, I cannot comprehend the Mystery, that an expence which ought to have been four dollars has been swelled to more than Ten Pounds; nor can I see why four days which were amply sufficient to have removed the horses to NYork has been protracted to near as many weeks.

I suppose however it is too late for me to obtain compleat Justice without an appeal to the laws which I have neither liesure nor Inclination to do. I therefore desire that either you or Mr: David Bull would settle with the person who carried the Horses to NYork and correct the manifest errors in both Accounts, form them both into one, sign it, and send it to me, and I will pay what shall be justly due or necessary to be paid.

I am Sir your most obnt: & humle: Sert
