The News Papers Published here can
afford you but little Entertainment and should not
have troubled you with any of them had I not thought
the Farmers Letters well worth your reading.
Capt Lilly arrived this day and the rest
of the ships are dailey expected. Tobacco Sells here
at 22/6 and 25/ pCt. great part is bought up so
that I imagine several Ships will find much
difficulty in Loading. My Compliments to
Mrs Norton and be assured I am with much
regard
Dr. Sir
Your obliged hble Sert.
