From Bernard Peyton

Dear Sir,

I have been out of blanks for a considerable time, for the renewal of your several notes at Bank—

The prospect of War in Europe has revived us a little here, & put Flour up to $7—I wish it may not turn out to be a Ne=epolitan affair—

With great respect Dr sir Yours very Truly
