Dear Sir
Inclosed you will receive a statement of all the Flour deliver’d to you, by comparing it with the accounts furnish’d you, we believe you will find it correct—
The mistake made with respect to 67 barrels sent down in May last, and which are still in Messrs Warwicks Lumber house, shall be arranged to your satisfaction so soon as either of us go to Richmond which will be in few days—We are with great respect
