Sir

The quantity of Stores you have on hand and the difficulty you find in shipping them induces us to accept of Mr. Monthieus proposal of taking his Goods out of the Mercury and loading intirely with the Stores of the public. Mr. Montieu has made that offer taking the same rate of Freight for the whole as was agreed for the quantity actually loaded already. We shall not be able to see Mr. Monthieu before the Post goes to Day, but shall be able to write you particularly by Wednesdays post. We are &c.
