If I am ever [Proprietor?] of any Tob. upon James River, It is probable you'll have part but at present, I am not Master of any Lands there_ I shall be obliged to you for the goods mention'd as her Invoice, by the Return of the Fly, which, I suppose may be expected, early in the next Spring_ Many of yr Friends complain much of the Fly, therefore, if she is a bad ship, I wish you could dispose of her to advantage.

As Col. Carters sons are your Neighbours & nearly related some, I must beg the [Favour?] of you, so relate candidly [shim?] Behaviours & your opinion of the school they are in I should be also glad to know which of them, has the best Capacity. I sincerely wish you & yrs the greatest Happiness & am sir
