The newspaper published here can
afford you but little entertainment and should not
have troubled you with any of them had I not thought
the Farmers Letters well worth your reading.

Capt. Lilly arrived this day and the rest
of the Ships are daily expected. Tobacco sells here
at 22/6 and 25/ p[er]c[ent]; great part is bought up so
that I imagine several ships will find much
difficulty in Loading. My compliments to
M^rs . Norton and be assured I am with much
regard.
