Gentlemen,

This serves to Inform you that
I have drawn a bill on you (payable to Mess^rs.
John Prentis & C^o.) for Two hundred pounds which
Sum will I suppose amount to more money than
I have in your hands, but as I have no Intentions
of discontinuing my Correspondence with you in
the Tobacco way make no doubt of its being duly
Honour'd which will much oblige your very

humble Serv^t
Edward C. Travis.
