Sir

I had the [favour?] of yours last night but was
gone to bed before I received it---
I should be very sorry that you perswaded me to do anything
that could give umbrage to the province or provincial [illegible]
by giving protections for carrying [up?] your goods—Tho I
cannot but lightly applaid your Zeal for the service
Therefor without hesitation send you the below order for yourself
and the enclosed for the Commanding Officers----

I am
Sir your most humble servant
[illegible]

To Mr. Israel Pembertone
