Messrs Dyson & Easson
          Gent[men]
          I shall now once more go over Your
Objections which I think are only trifeling and only making  
excuse to keep me longer out of my  money and I will answer
them in as Particular a manner as I can. In Yours
of 13 July 1755 Your Objections for my Charging a Commission
of 5 pr ct [per cent] on the Beaver sold pray is it possible for a Man to
spend all his time in selling Yr [your] Goods with out any Commission
I believe this is the first Instance of any Persons disputing
so Just a Charge and it surprises me much When I never
Chargd You any Commission as Mr Johonnot did
for Indorsing the Bills, not any Commission for any
Goods I sent you out of my store or Imported from London
on Purpose for you but only a single Commission of 5 pr ct [percent]
on what goods I was obliged to Purchase and lay out the
Money for Which Money had I Improved another way
I should have made much more than 5 pr Ct [per cent] and As to the
loss of the Beaver I send it for no more than I Give
You Cr [credit] for in the Acco’t [account] of sale and if any loss upon it
it was on Your Acco’t and Risque and not mine I am
surprised at this Objection beyond the Other when I
wrote in the time of it when I received the Beaver that
it was in bad order and not fitt for a Market before it was
put in order and dryd. I got the same man that Mr
Johonnot did who told me Mr Johonnots Beaver was
better than what I had upon the Whole I sold it
for the most I could Get and had the Beaver been my
own I could not do better or Get more for it than
I did, so I think you may be Silent on that for I do
assure You I sold it for no more than I have Given You
Cr [credit] for in the Acco’t of sales, I want no more than I have
a Just right to have and I would not defraud You of a
Shilling knowingly for the Value of Your Whole debt
