Since my last I have a ship loaded with Sugar & Cotton from Port au Prince (but belonging to Boston) arrivd at L'Orient to my address. I have written a Letter to Mr Necker which I inclose, you will see the subject by reading it, & if you approve the Application please to send it to him; if not please to destroy it. Every Post informs me that the ship is ready but she is notwithstanding still at Bordeaux. If I had not made the Bargain for her I could now ship the Goods in American Bottoms as there are 2 or 3 ships at L'Orient.— I have sent Mr de Chaumont his Accot Currt by this days post & as I have already been obliged to reimburse the Bills H-O at Paris (Mr Grand not having paid them) the Balance is in my Favour upwards of 2000 Livres. If you take these Cloathing I will repay Mr de Chaumont by you, I suppose the Bills being reimbursed proceeds from some error of Clerks but it makes no difference so if you please you may let the Affair take its Course. I am in grate haste most dutifully & affectionately Yours
