I am now enabled to give you an order on Capt Peyton for 700.D. and to assure you of the balance of my debt in July. which will be 547.16 D with interest from Mar. 10. as you will see by the subjoined statement. I pray you to be assured that it has never been in my power to do more than I have done, and than what I still engage to do; and I have no doubt that your own experience proves to you that a farmer getting only 2.D. a barrel for his flour may be in default without being blameable. Accept the assurance of my great friendship & respect.
