From Bernard Peyton
Richd 4 Novr 1822
Dr sir,
Above I hand ℀ sales your last parcel 235 Blls: flour, & 20 Blls: of the former parcels, sold on the best terms I found it practicable to make, which hope will be agreeable to you— The money for the 235 Blls: is payable tomorrow, when I will call on Mr Barrett, & pay the $750 to him you wish—
Flour continues extremely dull & it is with difficulty sales can be effected at=all—wheat 125¢ brisk—
B. Peyton
