D Sir 14 July/56
As I am winding up wreck
account with you, we had best
settle about the £2= I advanced for
postage & c - I send you two Bills
of [?] one for 5/= the other for
13/= all the which amounts with the
exception of 2/6 to anchor No 15 will
have to be charged to the numbers
marked in red against each sum
You will therefore have to give
me credit on account of these
documents for 15s/6d

Mr J Stephenson Bridlington
DSir 19 July 1856
From the Note of L-'.. Stewart I think
we may safely say that the proceeds
of the Sale of No 60 include Nos 90, 114, 115
I will therefore thank you to make
up your account in that manner
and let me have the Book and papers
as early as possible - with your account
you had better write me a letter requesting
that the Board of Trade will allow you
the commission & c in [all?] [wreckage?
