Dr Sir
Inclosed is an Invoice for
some Goods, which I shall be obliged to you
if you will send them in a York River Ship.
On board the Brilliant are five hog.hs. of Tobacco
which I am sure will not pay for the Goods
I have sent for after paying the Bill but they are my all, had they
been an hundred you should have had the
preference to any man in England. I was
obliged to draw a Bill on you for Thirty Pounds
payble To A Craig which I hope you have
been kind enough to pay. next Year you shall
have 15 or 20 hogshs. of Tobacco if so many made,
if more, you shall have the Whole. The Gun you
sent I much approve of & think her cheap.
my Love to Mrs. Norton & the Family
I am your Friend
& Kinsman

Watson has my
