I know it will give you and good Mrs. Holker Pleasure, to learn that we arrived safe and well here yesterday morning, neither the Journey by Land, or the Voyage by sea having incommoded me in the least. I have given you abundance of Trouble with my little Affairs and am loth to give you any more; but cannot well avoid requesting you would be so kind as to show the inclos’d Account to Mr. Garvey when he returns to Rouen, and represent to him that the Charge his Nephew makes of Commissions three Livres per Box, only for the Care of having my 128 Boxes moved out of one Boat into another appears to me exorbitant, amounting to 390 Livres, near as much as the Expence of bringing them from Paris to Rouen, and three times as much as has been demanded of me for their Freight between Havre and Lowes loading and discharging included. If Mr. Garvey confirms the Charge, which I think he hardly will, let him say so at the Bottom of the Account and then send it with this Letter to Mr. Grand, whom I hereby desire and authorize to pay it; because I would not leave any just Claim upon me remaining in France; tho’ I should wish to know if there are any Circumstances I am unacquainted with that can make such a Charge appear reasonable. God bless you both, my dear Friends, and believe me ever with a Heart deeply sensible of all your kindness, Yours most affectionately
