Sir

By this I suppose you have
received my Bill on you for 20 Pounds payable
to Doctor James Carter, I hope it will meet
with all due honour, though have no great
reason to expect it, as I have had so many
protested by you already, though but as you owe
me the money I suppose you will pay it I am

Yours &
Wm Bland

August 27th 1775
