Dear Madam

I sent a letter to the Post-office here,

to you, & inclosed Colonel William Byrd's 1st & 2d
Bills of Exchange of the same date for
500 £ sterling, also an account

This covers Mrs, Thomas Montgomerie's
Draft for £163..6 sterling, which is to satisfy
£200..0..10 current money of Virginia part
of £330..7..11 of the like Currency, so that
£130..7..1 remain in my Hands, & will
till I hear of a good Bill or Bills.

If you should have acknowledged

to signify the state of Byrd's. I am
