| Transcript | To Walker & Woodbridge, Barbadoes 1 November 1756 Gentlemen: We wrote your Mr. Woodbridge the 4th July via Philadelphia & you the 12th July by the Brig Greg & Via Philadelphia. As we have not heard from you since, we are affraid these Letters may have miscarried. We are advised that the Greg sailed from St. Eustatia for Jamaica the 25th September & imagines she must have missed your Isleand, or you would have wrote us. She took A Cargo of Provisions in on Freight at Belfast & with them proceeded here & if met no Market, which was the case, was to go with them to such Isleand or Isleands in the West Indies as we thought most for the advantage of the concerned. Agreeable thereto, she sailed for your place the 13th July &, if consigned to you, you could not obtain A price, you had orders to send her to Jamaica where she discharged. [She] was to take a freight to Europe if a good one could be obtained. If not to return to this place & take in a Freight of Flaxseed for Ireland. These are the orders Captain Hathorn is to follow, if you have not seen him. In that case, he was to receive his orders from you. We shall always be glad to have it in our power to serve you here.
