I have before me yours of the 19th & 20th inst. I receiv’d also yours of the 16th per M. Bory to whom I shall on your Recommendation shew every Civility in my Power.

I return accepted your two Drafts of 12000 Livres each as also the Congress Draft for 300£.

I think our People mad to give such a Price for Madeira. I hope the Bordeaux you send will be so good as to alter their Taste.

The three Bills of 20 Pounds each drawn by the Officers of the Hornet & Alfred are also return’d enclos’d.

According to your Desire, I send to M. Haywood at M. Schweighauser’s the Commission for the Mary Fearon, Capt. John Fulford, with the blank obligations to be sign’d there. I wish her Success and am Sir &c.
