Dear Sirs,
Capn. Walker this Moment sent
Me the inclosed Bill of Loading, with Notice that
he is just leaving Town, so that I have only
time to inclose it. I have been so harrass'd
with a sick Family & other Things that I
have not been able to make out my In:
voice, but will send it by Capn. Roberston at
some other good Opportunity. If by any Accident
it should miscarry, you'll be pleased to send me
the same Quantity of Cotton & brown Linen,
as you shipt me this Year. I should be glad
of half a Chest of Lemons & some good Cheese
& Porter by the first Opportunity; two or three Gall's
of each, the different Sorts of Garden Pease: a little early
cabbage, cucumber & Melon Seeds. I can, at present
only add that I am, Dr. Sirs,
Yr. mo. obt. Servt.
Ro. C. Nicholas
