TranscriptTo John & Moses McCamon, Newry 20 January 1757

Gentlemen:
Our last was the 24th past. Have now to enclose you Invoice & Bill of
Lading for One Hundred Hogsheads of Flaxseed shiped in the Waddell,
Charles Stewart Master, amounting to £253.6.0 which, at 821/2 per Cent
Exchange, makes £138.16.0 Brittish, & this sum we have this day drawn
for at 40 days sight on Messrs. William Snell & Co. of London, which we
doubt not will meet due honour.
We are in great hopes that the Flaxseed will prove good & as reasonable
as any of our Neighbours, which will be a pleasure to us to hear, as well as to be favoured with your further favours, which you may depend we will do our utmost to execute to your content. G&C
