Acknowledges receipt of letter of July 12: each species answers to invoice. Did not expect them so soon: encloses bills dated Sept. 1, so that agent may have less excuse for deferring payment. As to not sending rest of provision's now, Caulfeild thinks his reasons good and leaves the affair in his (Clark's) management.
