You have now enclosed Invoice & Bill of Lading for Two Hundred Hogsheads of Flaxseed amounting to £506.12.[0] shiped in the Waddell, Charles Stewart Master, which at 821/2 per Cent Exchange, makes £277.il.8, for which sum we have this day drawn for at forty days sight on Messrs. George & James Portis of London, which we doubt not will meet due honour. It will give us great pleasure to hear that the Flaxseed proves good & gives content. We are heartily sorry what we ship from this goes so much higher then from Philadelphia this Season. We hope you'l find what we ship as cheap & as good as any from this place. When its in our power to serve you here, be assured we shall leave nothing undone for your Interest.
