Sir,

I am induced from the high Opinion which
I entertain of your Integrity, to ship you by Capt.
Robinson, two Hogsheads of Tob^o; and flatter
myself from the goodness of its Quality, that the
Sales will be agreeable : should they be answerable
to my Expectation, I shall be encouraged to send
you larger Consignments. Inclosed you will
receive an Invoice of Goods, which, I must request
the Favour of you to comply wiht, assuring you
that an ample Remittance shall be made you
the next year by

Sir
your most ob^t: Serv^t:
John Matthews
