| Transcript | To Thomas Greg, Belfast 8 June 1756 Dear Sir: With this you have Copy of my last by Captain Troy to dublin. The Johnson, Captain Daniel Cunningham, will certainly be clear to sail for Liverpool by the 1st July. The cost of our part of the Cargoe in her home will be about £250 Currency. She will certainly sail by the time I mentioned. I have taken freight in the Brigg Sea Flower, Le Chavalier Dean Master, to Hamburgh for Twenty five Tons of Logwood I bought for our accounts at £9 per ton. She is bound to Hamburg' & will sail about the 1st July. Shall consign it to Mr. Jacob Bosanquet. If you have occasion for the proceeds of it. it will be at your disposal, but if you should not want it, then you can order him to ship the proceeds of it in Osenbriggs & Coarse Linnens fit for this Market by the return of the Vessel.* You may write for Insureance on it on receipt of this io Hamburg. This goes by Captain Sheldon to Rotterdam. I have shiped on our account by his snow 20 Tons of Logwood & 500 pounds of Sarsaperilla & ordered Mr. Yzendoorn, to whome it is consigned, to apply the proceeds of it towards paying himself if he has over shiped anything on our Half of the Prince of Wales Cargoe, if not to ship the proceeds in Bohea Tea by the Brigg Brantford. I leave it to you about ordering Insureance on our Interest in the Johnsons Cargoe. WC per the Magog, Capt. Sheldon |
