I write by this day’s mail to my Correspdt at Richmd Colo B. Peyton to procure a bill of exchange on London which shall nett there clear of exchange1 444.D. payable on your acct2 to mr Saml Williams your correspondent there, and to be paid over by you to M. & Mde Pini. I am later in this duty this year than usual: this depends on3 the earlier or later date by which the produce of the preceding4 year can be prepared &5 got down the river to Richmd my farms being 130. miles up the river, which sometimes slackens6 by drought. with these casual variations of a month or two in time these remittances may be counted on with the utmost7 certainty by M. & Mde Pini, to whom I repeat my respects with assurances to yourself of my constant frdshp and respect.
