Sir,

Inclosed you'll receive a Bill Lading for
17 Hhds Tob^o. on Board the Farmer Cap^t. Howard Esten, w^ch.
I wish safe to y^r. Hands & a good Market. The Weights of
it are rather light, but the Quality is as good as any York
River Tob^o.

I ought to have sent you three Hhds
more by this Opportunity, in compliance with an Engage-
-ment to your Son, for endorsing two Bills of Exch^a., but
hope you'll excuse it; as you may depend on my shipping
that Quantity of Tob^o. with the first of the new crop.

I am Sir
Y^r. obd^t. hble Serv^t.
Thomas Price
