Justifiable Conduct of a Merchant, & looks as if hes Inclined to
To extend the Cozening of his Uncle Nicholson to a further relation
With Dyson & Company. Finally I think said Mauger ought
To share, if not wholly yet very largely in the loss Sustained by the
Failure of said Insurance, thus I have given you my Indigested
Tho’ts without a Fee
Am Sir
Your humble Servant
John Avery
