TranscriptTo Joseph Chew, New London 7 July 1756

Sir:
I have not had the pleasure to hear from you since I left New London. I
hope before this comes to hand, Captain Nealson will be safe arrived, as
by the best account I can larn, he may be expected every hour.
You are on the Spot & able to judge how matters may be managed. I
request you'l Leave nothing undone that may promise safety for his
Vessal & Cargoe. The circumstances the trade is under is indeed very
discouraging & gives me great reason to fear the[y] may begin to seize
with you as they have done in other parts of your Province. My intire
dependence is on your prudent & careful I management.
Please to have the enclosed deliverd. For Godsake, dont neglect to
keep the Boats out & to make them pursue the Vessel till they can come
up with her. WC
