D^r. Sir.

I wrote you a few Lines by Cap^t. Lilly & am
still confin'd here by the same Indisposition I labour'd
under, when he sail'd. Your Son tells me that
the three last Hogsheads he purchased for me
are on Board the Farmer Cap^t. Estin so that Cap^t.
Robertson carries you only 47, for which you
have his Bill of Loading inclosed. I have many
Things to write, but am too unwell to do it at
present & therefore must bid you adieu,
with my best wishes &^c. & remain very truly

Y^r. sincere Friend
Ro. C. Nicholas
