Gent[lemen]

The foregoing Confirm Copy of my last, since
w[hi]ch I have none of your fav[ou]rs to reply to. I have now only
Time to Aquaint you that I am loading Marshall, &
intend he shall Sail if the weather holds good in Ten Days,
by whom will write you fully. I daily look for Scott
hope you have shipt by him all the Articles wrote for
The Trunk of Goods Mark'd IW, I offer'd to Mr. Warden, &
he Declines, taking it. I will therefore Take it to my own
Acco[un]tt to prevent you Trouble, & you will accordingly
Charge me the Amo[unt] ~

You will be mindfull to make
Insurance on the Boston Packett agreeable to my
Letters in [Company?} with TF, and beg you think upon the
plan propos'd therein, & perhaps may Take Effect-------
I have Drawn on you in fav[ou]r Blanchard & Hancock
for 300 [pounds] w[hi]ch you will please to honour, and by
Marshall must Draw a few Bills, as Money is extremely
scarce---------

I intend as soon as possible to Send
you the Cash of the Brig[antin]e 9/16 of w[hi]ch you will observe
I am in Advance for you, as also for [1/3?] of Marshall's Cargo
Acco[un]tt of w[hi]ch you shall have by him-----------

I am now so Engag'd that I can't
add, but must Defer what I have further to Say tell
by Marshall, and am with perfect Esteem, Gent[leme]n

Your most obed[ien]t ser[van]t

Barnards & Harrison

Should Marshall sail in 10 Days, w[hi]ch he certainly shall
I think it will be near as good generalship as GH's last
voyage
