Suffolk August 17th, 1769

Sir

The Bearer brings you sundrys
per Accot. inclos'd; The demand for [?] Rum has
been so great for this some time past that
its impossible for the company to supply half
the orders, for which reason we have been
without any for this some time past.

Upon looking into your flower, I find its
of so mean a quality, and already so much hurt,
that I'm under some aprehensions of its being al-
together lost, however shall endeavour to have it
sold for the most advantage, & will transmitt
you an accot. thereof hereafter. I am

for Gibson & Grombery

Sir

Your most Obedient,

Sam'l Donaldson
