Sir:

My attention has been so Engagd in a Multiplicity of
Affairs since the death of my late uncle that I have not had
opportunity to write you till now, and indeed am now so
hurried that I have only time to acquaint you that by this
opportunity I have wrote to Messrs Barnards & Harrison, when
they are in Cash for me to pay you the Ballance of account
due from the late Co[mpany] of T: H. & Co. and you will apply to them
therefor after which you will please to send me your Acco[un]t
Ballanc'd.

At present I am in no want of Goods from Bristol
when occasion offers I shall apply to you ~

I am Sir
Your most obed[ien]t Serv[an]t

To Mr. William Jones

This you will receive under cover from Messrs Blanchard
& Hancock, the latter a Brother of mine who has Enterd into
Partnership with Mr Blanchard in the Braziery Business
They write you for Goods & from the Character Mr Blanchard
Sustains here of a Frugal, honest & Industrious man. I cant
but recommend them to your Correspondence in which I
doubt not but they will answer your Expectation, I referr
you to their letter, and am now so hurried that can't be
so particular as I could wish till next opportunity, but in
future make no doubt but their Correspondence will be to
mutual Satisfaction and you will please to send them the
Goods they now write for ~

I shall write you further on this Subject by
next, being now so pinch'd for time that I cant add but
that I am.
