M^r. John Norton

Dear Sir

I duly rec^d. your favour p Cap^t.
Goosely cov.^g Inv^o. y^e for Goods by him amot^g to £489.16.4. -

I have consign'd you 35 hh^ds. Tob^o. p the Unity, which
are on the joint Acc^t. & Risque of M^r. J.H.N. & myself -
but the whole to go as a Remittance from me - 20 hh^ds.
of it is the much esteem'd Crop of Cleavers Dukes - the
other 15 I imagine not inferior, as they were made by
by John Walton, who I know lives on fine Land, and
is look'd on as an extraord^y Planter. I am in hopes they
will turn out to advantage - I expect M^r J.H.N. has given
directions for Insurance on them - If he has not, please
to do it, for us, at £10. or £11. p hh^d. - I intend either to Ship
more Tob^o. in the Virginia (where arrival is dayly
expected) or to make a Remittance in Bills from the
meeting of the Merch^ts. in July. M^rs. Anderson Joins
me in kindest Complym^ts. to M^rs. Norton & family

I am with great Respect
Dear Sir. your hb^le. Serv
Will. Anderson
