| Transcript | To Capt. John Nealson, Master of the snow Prince of Wales 29 May 1756 Sir: Tho I dont expect you soon, yet least I should be agreeably disappointed, I will write you now. Since you left this, we have had frequent alarms that the officers were at last resolved to Seize every thing come in their way, which they have now confirmed by seizing several parcels of goods. I would think it very prudent whatever goods you have on Freight you immediately deliver Mr. John Loyd. Send me an Express as soon as you arive, & I shall send up Sloops to take in Our goods & proceed with them to Philadelphia Where I am well informed they may be lodged with Safety. The quantity of goods now landed in New England makes me think it will be imprudent to land Our goods there. About this you & Mr. Loyd must consult & as you see prudent act. You may depend I shall make no delay to dispatch you Sloops after I receive your Letter. I have wrote to N Carolina to get A clearance for your Snow which I soon expect. This will enable us to enter her here. Daniel arrived 26th Instant, as did Captain Car. Both had Six weeks passage. WC |
