Capt. Arnold Whipple. Providence. R. I.
Your favor of Monday last is recd. I think you have not adopted the best manner of starting the account. Instead of the acco. current as forwarded, had you stated it with the Ship, 'twou'd have been easier to determine the respective Interests. I shall be most obliged by your sending one such an account. Be kind enough also to forward the Spanish certificate which I mentioned to you. I wish you wou'd send me a copy of your instructions from Messrs. Dyer & Smith at the time you took command of their ship, as also a copy of your account as settled with our freind Cuesta. As soon as my health will permit, I shall have the pleasure of seeing you in Providence, & hope then to have our affairs adjusted to the satisfaction of all Parties.
Yrs.

N. B. Shou'd you incline to take a trip to this Town, I think we cou'd in a short time adjust that part of the acco. which relates to yourself. You had better bring your papers for that purpose.
