Mr. Parker writes that the Exchange was settled at a Medium Rate. But the real Rate of Exchange is the best to settle this Article at, Mr. Hall can easily find what he paid for the Bills he sent me. If not, the Price of Bills at the Time each Bill was sent, may easily be known from any Merchant’s Books. Mr. H. in his Letters frequently mention’d to me the Rate of Exchange. 3. What is the meaning of Cash lent? When does the Account mention’d in this Article begin? 4. If the Almanacks sent to Rhodeisland are charg’d to me, which indeed I gave away as I us’d to do before the Partnership and never receiv’d any Pay for; then I ought to be allow’d for the Copy of the Almanacks which cost me Money, besides a good deal of Trouble of my own. And to which Copy I still have the Right. 5. — 6. Is there Credit given for Noetica’s sold? Are there none remaining? 7. Examine Mr. Hunter’s Account to see if these were ever charg’d to him. 8. — 9.

Lampblack is one of the Incidentals as well as Oil or Ink. As there is no Article for Oil, I suppose it comes under the next Head of 15. Incidentals. What do they consist of, that they amount to £5841s. 2½d. besides what is in the next Article 16. Ink, and English Papers. Quy. if the latter ought to be charg’d? 17. More Incidentals. What were they? £18 5s. 11d. 18.
