My best respects premised etc. My last was per the Peter Bonadventure, in which Shipp I laded and Consigned to you 42 hoggshedds of severall Commodityes, the particulars I then advised to which I desire to be referred att present you may please to vnderstand I have laden aboard this Shipp the Wm. and Jno. 10 hoggshedds of oatmeale more (which I gave you some intimacion of then) as per the inclosed bill of lading you may perceave. I mett with this parcell vppon reasonable tearmes otherwise I should not have gone soe farr in disbursements for that account, being out of cash for it. I had thought when I made the former provitions that a farr greater summe of mony would have been sent in, according to promise otherwise I would have disposed of that which came to my hands somewhat different from what I did, and have disbursed part of it in provitions of other kinds, but I lived in a dayly expectacion of more Supply, which fayled me hitherto, and now the sicknesse comming into the Citty hath scattered the interested into severall parts, soe that I much question whether any more willbe sent this yeare. Since the former mentioned by the Peter, I wrott you breefly per Mr. Babb, by whom I sent you 3 small pieces of ordinance, and cariages to them. I am now bringing my owne occations to a head and intend (god willing) the first of the next Spring to come away: I have not elce att present to inlarge, but will take leave and rest Yours in what I can
