Sir

I had the pleasure to write you the 12^th
July, since which have wrote Mess^rs Somersall & Son, respecting
the Eleven Hhds Tobacco, which I find they shipd to Bristol, to
the Address of Mess^rs Bright Baille & Bright, from whom I
reciev'd the Sales a few Days ago, but Mess^rs Somersall & Son,
never gave them any Directions respecting the N^t proceeds, &
say I never wrote them about it, of which I have convinced
them to the Contrary, by sending them a Copy of my Letter, w^ch.
you also have inclosed, and have this Day wrote Mess^rs Bright
Baille & Bright, to remit you the N^t. proceeds of the said Eleven
Hh'ds Tobacco, being £286..8..10 Stg, I have not yet been able
to meet with a Bill to remit you for Acount of M^r. Norton
but hope I shall very soon, till then I remain with much
Esteem ~

Sir
Your most Hb^le.. Serv^t -
Corn^s: Stevenson

M^r. James Withers
