suppose you will depend upon my doing what I ought upon such an occasion, for which my friend Sir John Randolph will answer. I must desire you to use all your diligence, & advise me from time to time how you proceed, it being an affair of such consequence that did the concerns of my family permit me I would go to England to prosecute it there my self. I am.

Sir, Your Most Humble Servant

Sir,

I have inclosed Col. Ball bill of exchange on you for thirty one pounds sixteen shillings & nine pence three farthings & a small bill of Mr. Rawleigh Chinn for three pounds. I have also sent you bills of lading for the following quantity is of tobo. by Capt. Dove (Viz) low hhds NB 1 2. paid me by doctor Nicholas & consigned to you on acct. of my fathers estate, & five hhds NB 3.4.5.6.7 consigned to you on acct. of Mayr. Burwell's estate. But you must account to my father's estate for the third part of one of these hhds, because otherwise Dr. Nicholas would not have his full third part of the crop which is seven hhds, in all twelve hhds stem'd tobo. ERC & nine [aronoko] by mistake mark'd of the same marke, besides four on accot. of my Robert's estate, concerning which I have already writ pretty fully.

I must here advise you of a bill of exchange that I have drawn on you to Capt. Tho. Dove it is for some goods yt. my brother Charles & I bought of him. The billister on half of which is to be charged to his particular accot. & the other to mine. Altho the bills may not perhaps be sign'd by him he haveing the misfortune to loose his eldest son yesterday, a fine boy, & he is now bringing the body to this place to be buried at our church. I shall write to you in a few days concerning my brother George's affairs, & am in the meantime, Sir,

Your Most Humble Servant,
