change for wine, either cash, or Bills of Exchange
payable at 60ty daies sight in England,
provided that you (Mr Robinson) will endorse the said
Bills: and i will pay 2 per Cent for the risk of the
Endorsement.

refuse to act. Pray deliver the inclosed Letter
to whom it is directed too; and you will oblige
