{Gentlemen}

The foregoing Confirm Copy of our last, since
which we are favour'd with your letter by {Captain} Daverson,
inclosing invoice & bill {lading} for the articles by him, they are
not yet on shore. We hope you will be able to receive
our ballance from Mr Debbiege; he was mistaken'd in saying
he lodg'd the money at Halifax, we have had many letters
from thence since, & no mention made of it.

We haver wrote to Mr Cuming to come to town
& execute another power, {which} hope to send by next {opportunity}
we look upon it a very needless evasion, & that they might
on your surety have paid the money. The bills & power
were the same writing, & done by the same Mr Cuming.

We are using all expedition in building the
ship, as many hands as can work on her are employ'd,
& shall be carefull to have her well finish'd. We think
we shall soon ship some oil in thirds with you & Folger.
Folbger returns home this day, & if the price breaks as
he expects he will then make a purchase. We
shall soon write you again. [Interim?] remain with esteem,

{Gentlemen}
Your most {humble} {servants}

Messrs {Jonathan} Barnard & Co.

of the tea by Partridge, & show'd the paragraph in your
letter, the collector says there was no [cockett?] brought, & it
does not appear by their books that the tea was ever landed,
that you must land a Cockett or what will answer, before
we can obtain the certifficate.
