Dear Sir

This serves to cover Bill of Lading for six hogsheads of
Tobacco, consigned you by Capt. Power, and to convey Invoice of
such necessaries my family will soon be in want of; You will
be pleased to send them by one of your Ships next Spring.

By Capt Esten I wrote to my Brother, and sent him
an Account of Mr. Horrocks's Estate, by which he, with your
Assistance, will be enabled to Settle with Mr. Thos. Horrocks
for his part of the Estate, and to pay him his part in Signing
a Bill of Sale for the Slaves; this I could wish, you would pay
some Attention to, and have done without loss of time.

I have, after much altercation, and to get rid of an
Old avaricious troublesome Body, agreed to give Mr. Willis
£ 25 for the Honour Mr. Horrocks did him, in appointing him
to Act as Deputy Commissary so that I hope the Bishop will
hear no more of this trifling Affair.

My poor Dear Fanny H. has has been very ill for two or
three months past, the great heat of the Summer almost over
powered her, and reduced her greatly, the weather is now fine and
pleasant and gives us some hopes of her recovery; She desires in
the tenderest manner to be remembered to her very good friend
Mrs. Norton. With pleasure I congratulate you on the increase
of your family by the Birth of a Grand-Daughter. I am very truly

Dear Sir

Your obliged friend and hble Servt.

Thos . Everard
