Sir;

The inlosed be pleased to have delivered to Messrs.
Elliott & Jacob Coachmakers in Tower Street; it contains
a direction to make me a chaise to be delivered you & to
apply to you for paiment, & for that purpose you have
inclosed our friend the Treasurer's bill. As soon as they
have finished it, be pleased to contrive it me by the
first Ship to James or York River, but to be insured.
Should the chaise & the charges attending it, come to
more than the Bill sent, such deficiency shall be
repaid you with Thanks, as well as your Charge for
executing this Trifling Com: by one who would be
glad to do you any services here,

Yr. mo: obt. St.
