Your balance of £579..7..11. Sterling differs so
triflingly with my Books, that they are set
teled accordingly, my Bill payable to
William Prentice & Co for £34..13..4 Sterling & the
premium I shall draw for to ensure 52
hogsheads Tobacco on board the John & Prestly
will encrease that balance but I expect the 20
hogsheads by the Page with the consignment
mentioned just above will sell for a
considerable sum of Money
Mr Alex Johnstons Correspondent
here has been twice directed to apply
to me for a Bill to pay the the Plate bought
of Johnston amounting to £12..9..7 Sterling
I am charged that article as per ^ your Account
received: to have a 3d application for
this matter would encrease my uneasiness
& oblige me to justify my self from the
imputation I am Gentlemen
Robert Carter
