| Transcript | To Scott & McMichael, Philadelphia29 November 1756 Dear Gentlemen: On the terms you consign the Cargoe to Mr. Thomas Greg, you may load a Vessell from 100 to 200 Tons at the freight you mention. I think a Sortable Cargoe for a Vessell of 150 Tons would be 250 Hogsheads of Flaxseed, 250 Barrels of Flower, & the remainder of the Cargoe Wheat. I would choose to have it proportioned in this way but leaves it still to you to do as you See proper. Wheat has the best chance if it gets home safe. As soon as you have agreed for a Vessell let me know her name & make as nigh a Computation as possible of the value of Ihe cargoe. I recomend dispatch. As soon as I have your answer to this, shall send you Bills or cash to pay for the half of the Cargoe. I cant promise Hodges Vessell a Freight, so would have you make use of what Flax Seed you have left after loading Crathorn2l for our joint cargoe, & if that dis not go on, Send it to me as well as you can. The post waits for this & has not been in an House & waits for this, so excuse my not being more particular. WC |
