James Belsches letter to Mr. Marable, 1760 September 28

Has, according to an order sent Mr. Jones the sum the tobacco amounted to. Believes Marable to be in his debt on the account. Tells Marable he‘ll be surprised at the prices of nails, but the scarcity of iron and workmen in Bristol make them hard to get at any price. Will bring the Bristol invoice when he comes to Marable‘s house. “If you don‘t pay me for pr__zing your tobacco, I will drink out the value of it in your good cyder every time I go to Sussex Court.”
