We wrote you the 24th & 29 ult.

sent you Invoice of Goods shiped in the Peter Amounting
with all charges £324.7.2 Ster: — the last advised that
Cask of [show?] No 12. had been seized by the Custom house
officers for being short of weight — Upon application to
the Comssioners of the Customs we have got said Cash
returned to us and have shipt the same on board the
Ocean Cap: Ewing as pr Invoice annexed, which wish safe
to hand and to a good Market. We hope it will be no great
Inconvenience the said Cask not being sent with the rest
