Sir
If Mr David Fletcher’s Sloop is not gone, & the
Furs that I purchased from you are not shipped,
You will be pleased to ship them in board of his
Vessel & take his Receipt for the same, which
You will be pleased to inclose to me by first opportu-
nity.
If you have made any agreement with
the French Man you mentioned at St. Mary’s
Bay, & have purchased his Furs for me, be pleased
also to forward the same by first opportunity. At
the same time if you Should meet with any Difficulty
in shipping the above articles readily you will be pleased
to apply to Capt. Johnston whom I have desired to be a Means
of You having as little Trouble as possible. Your Compliance to
the above will oblige, Sir,
Your Most humble Servant,
Robt Fletcher
