Mr. Swaine on his return from Philadelphia informed me that it was inconvenient and uncertain for the founder to cart the imperfections by the lb. This I was not apprised of when I made out the List—but from the pains I took in calculating the weight of each sort wanting I am pretty certain it will be accurate. The founder, I think, can cart such a number as he supposes will answer the weight and with his calculation I shall be satisfied. If you have lost the Memorandum forwarded you for this purpose—please to let me know it—that I may send you another. I know, Sir, that what I ask is giving you a great deal of trouble, but from the amazing quantity of imperfections—which I compute at between 4 and 5 Cwt. uou will readily admit the necessity. There are too many of them to remain with me and I have no mode of redress but to have them completed by you—or to return such as has not been and—agreeable to a Letter of yours sometime since received.
Accept of the Compliments of the Season—and beleive that I am with great respect Your Humble Servant.
