London Feby 10 1774

Sir.

Your kind favours of 5^th Nov^r. and 2^ne Dec^r
came duly to Hand, and have observed the contents
I am well convinced of the many difficulties attending
the collecting of Money as I have corroborating
proofs of it every Day in this part of the World.

As to Carter Braxton and Col Burwell
shall leave their affairs intirely to your self, not
doubting but you will take such Measures as
will bring them to a speedy Settlement.

Your kind Order shall be punctually
executed and when Callicos Cambricks or any other
Articles in the Linnen Trade are wanting -
shall be much obliged to you for your favours
as you may depend none shall accomodate
you on lower terms.

Please to Turn over
