TranscriptTo Edward & Isaac Corry, Newry 12 October 1756

Gentlemen:

The 5th Instant we had the pleasure of your favour of the 14 July & shall
Execute your Order for two hundred Hogsheads of Flaxseed on the best
Terms this Market will admit of & have a particular regard for your Orders
in sniping it. The price is not yet fixed, but we Expect it will be low as the Crop is large.
The Number of Privateers we have now from this place gives us great
reason to Expect Prise goods of all sorts will be sold very reasonably here. What prizes has been brought In are from Martinico bound to Old France. The prises their Cargoes sold for are Annexed. G&C

Exchange to London, 85 per Cent
Logwood, at £12 per Ton
Martinico Sugar, from 2d to 7d
Ditto Coffee, from 7d to 73/4 d
Ditto Cotton, from 15d to 16d
Ditto Cocoa, from 8d to 9d
Prise ships are sold reasonable
per the Packet,
Capt. Radford
