You say in the letter before me, "I
"have paid some considerable Sums
"of money on account of the 5th Part
"of the Iron Works in which you are
"concerned   Some Body must pay
"for the Works must go on"   I ap
prehend that Mrs, Tasker is chargeable
for the Supplies, which hath or shall
be expended from the 1st day of January
1768 to the 31st of December following on
account of her Son's [illegible] of the Iron, Works;
that she took the whole Profits, to
the 20th day of last march, & that ¾
of the disbursements for the present
year should be refunded to Mrs
Tasker out of the Gains arising fro
said Works, from the 20th day of last
March   and the remaining Balance
to go according to the Will of Colonel
Tasker so that whatever money thou hast
advanced, is to be charged to Mrs
Tasker & not to her Son's Estate, if
my apprehension be thought
reasonable.

Gold & Silver monies will be an
acceptable Payment of Mrs: Carter's
Proportion of Land, Slaves & personal
Estate
