Sir,

The Little Betty Brigantine in now again Consigned to you & Captain William Dick the Master of her is to observe your orders in any thing [anything] you think she may want, & in taking in a Load of salt which we beg of you to provide for her as soon as you can hoping to have her here in time for a Voyage to Madeira so as to be able to send her to you again next summer with a Load of tobacco. The Long passage from Liverpe. with the loss of her Masts & almost all her Sales & Rigging has put us to a very Considerable Expence & had like to have [dissoved?] our Company. Mr Charles Carter after having written to you that he had disposed of his part of the Brig. now resolves to hold one half of her to which purpose Mr Landon Carter is to sell his part to him and the secretary according to the value you shall put upon her when she has unlivered to to Tobacco. But Mr Landon Carter is to bear one fourth part of Charges to that time, & the fourth part of the freight is to be Carried to his Credit. The smallness of the vessell [vessel] makes it impossible to get any thing by her unless she can make a double voyage very year, & if she were to be sold we do not know how our tobo. [tobacco] would be carried to you, as we intend hereafter to increase our Consignments. Mr Charles Carter writ to you Concerning some servants to be had from Ireland: but as we apprehend that matter will be attend with a good Deal of difficulty & Expence. We desire nothing to the done in it. We are.
