M^r John Hatley Norton

Dear Sir,

Since the receipt of your
Favor of the 4^th. July. I have had the misfortune to
loose one of the best of Fathers, which has left me in
a very large Concern of Business which I intend carry,g
on & hope for the Continuance of your Favors.

Your order came in time to be Shipped
on board the Virginia Captain Easton, the Invoice
for which Goods you will find inclos'd & have taken
particular care to look out such Goods as will please,
& merit your future Favors. You was so kind as
to Order One ps Cambrick & One ps Bandannoe, the
Entry for y^e Prohibited Goods being made before your
Letter came to hand thought it best to defer them
till your next favour, as y^e Expences on them two Articles
would have been Upwards of 15/, your Brother will
take care to get them Insur'd & to send you the Bill
of Lad^g & remain with best respects Dear Sir

Your most obed^t hhble Servant
Fred'k Jones
