Mr. John Luil

Rappahanock Aug 30. 1732

Sir

The good agreement that seems to run in the letters between your self [yourself] and our deceased father, calls upon us his executors to endeavour the continuance of it, especially when we have reason to believe his estate will be something advanced by the honest proceeding of so fair a correspondent and here give us leave to pass over the several parts of your letters by the Calledon till we come to that part in which you tell our father that you had suffered some reflections from others in the trade in not charging commissions upon the whole duty, which is so just a disposition in a merchant that we cannot but commend it not as a thing that is more than consistant with equity but as it is something out of the common method in the trade.

We are sorry for the losses you have suffered in the Calledon this year and could wish she had been time enough to have shared the assistance from this family; but as it is you will receive by the Lucia hhds. of tobo. [tobacco] which for many reasons is all that we have been able to consign you this year.

We desire that you will send us in as soon as you can twelve doz. [dozen] of your plaid stocking for Negroes & that we may know how far to value ourselves upon you we expect you will send us your accot. [account] current as early as you conveniently can. We are with great esteem,

Sir

Your Most humble Servts. [servants]
