(Coppy)

Virginia June 1778

Gentⁿ.

I wrote you the 15^th July last requesting you to
pay my Sister the proceeds of my 4 hds Tobacco on the
27^th October last she advis'd me you had kindly paid her
£40 I imagine She wanted no more at that time, She
now waits on you with this, requesing you'l pay her
the remaining part of the proceeds of my 4 hhds Tob^a
by Robinson, as it was a good Crop & heavie two of them
stemd, I have no doubt but it will equal other
sales I have heard of from your house -

I sincerely condole with you in the loss of my old
acquaintance and beg you'l make my best wishes
acceptable to good M^rs Norton, shall be glad to
render you any future services if please God I
survive the unhappy differances, I am with esteem

Gentⁿ.
Your most H^le Serv^t
James Mills
