Virginia 17th. August 1775
Messrs. John Norton & Sons
Gent.
By the London & Virginia I consigned
you 3 hhds stemed & s of leaf Tobacco, which hope
will arrive to a Good markett, and when added
to some money I have directed Mr. Gist to pay
you, with the inclosed Bill for £150 st
I hope will about square the Yards with
us. I shall be obliged to you for sending
me a full state of my Accot. with your
Calculation of Interest, in doing of which
I should suppose Tobacco remittances,
ought to be considered th same as Bills
, in fact it must be much better, where
a Considerable part, sells for the home
Trade. I hope the British minister
is now convinced that he cannot dragoon the
Americans into his measures, and that
a change will soon take place.
Mrs. Anderson joins with me in Affect. Complymts
to Mrs. Norton & the whole Family, I am
with Great regard, Gent.
Your mo. Ob Sert
Will Anderson
P.S. If any balance should remain
due to you I will remit it by the first
opportunity. W A
