Virginia March 21^st. 1776

Gentⁿ.

I have recd. your's of the 5^th. of Sep^r. last
Inclosing an Acco^t. Cur^t. of my Fathers Est<a.
Ball. due £19.8.4, which you have given
my Acco^t. C^r . for   I believe there is a small
Omission in giving C^r. only for the prime Cost
of the Cask of Iron, because it was attended
with the Cost of the shipping charges &c - If
this is reasonable to be allowed, you'l please
to have it rectifyed, and may be settled [here]
[a]fter - I observe that the 3 hh^ds. of Tob^o.
that I sent you in the year 1774 clear'd &pound29.11.2
and the Goods you sent me p the Virg^a. the
same year amount,^d to £18.11.9, which left
a Ball. in my favour of £10.19.5. added to
the above £19.8.4 makes the Ball^c. due me
£30.7.9. As I'm afraid that there is no probability
of an Accomodation takeing place soon, I have drawn
on you for the Ball. above ment^d, payable to M^r.
Arc^d. Govan, which hope will be duly Hon^d, and
am w^th. Respect Gentⁿ. Y^r. m^o. Ob^t. Srv^t
W^m Macon
