The tobacco shipt you this year are twenty hhds stemm'd tobo. in the Hasswell and ten hhds Leaf in the Burwell, these will we hope suite both markets and you will have little reason as we believe to desire a choice crop, the twenty hhds being tobo. [tobacco] made at as good plantations as our father had.

We have herewith sent you a Invoice for some goods for the use of our several familys, under the following marks to be sent to us by some good ships to this river or York. We are

Your Most humble Servts.
