TranscriptTo Isaac & Zachary Hope, Rotterdam 12 November 1756

Gentlemen:

Please be refered to our last by the Packet of which you have Copy herewith.
We are favoured with yours of the 13th July but the 5th Instant. We are
heartily sory we cant come up to your expectation about furnishing Sales
of your goods. We shall close the Sales as soon as in our power.
As we could not purchase the Logwood at your limitts, we have it not
in our power to purchase the Vessels. Prize Ships have been sold very
cheap, & we expect will continue to be sell low as well as their Cargoes
as they are brought in. We have no Prizes sent in since our last. Logwood
now sells at 11 per ton. G&C
