These are to be sent in to James River. I am

Mr. Wm. Dawkins

Corotomon Sept 4th 1733

Sir,

My brother & I have been frequently together doing business, & yet have allways forgot to give a bill of excha. to Mr. Wm. Camp, who has had a salary of five pounds of my father for several years past. I have now drawn on you for that sum, & tho my brothers are not here to sign it, I hope such a trifle will make no difficulty, but that it may be paid & charg'd to my fathers estate.

I beg the favour of you to give my service to my brother George, & let him know I shall write to him with the greater pleasure when he informes me that he is settled at Cambridge to his satisfaction.
