My Dear
Yesterday evening the Secretary Mr. Clarke spoke to me and said that I urgently have to start baking on our plantation for the Palatines as he had heard that the hard bread was finished. I said that I was now forced to get flour from here since time was so short that wheat could not be gotten He said therex was some flour there and one should start with that until flour could be sent from here, I do not know if this will find you if not Barent will have to get going on this and the flour that is to be used for it will have to be weighted and I pay 16 shillings on the hundred and they pay me ½ quarter for the fine bread flour which has to weigh 2 ½ O English, I have paid Hillegart r 26:19:6 in money for 166 bushel wheat which she said DeLancey has delivered for me at P van Ploegh’s attic for 6 guilders 10 nickels the bushel. Also have sent £68:-:6 in money in a bag to Johanis with Hartenbergh the Sheriff to buy wheat for me for 6 guilders 10 or buy for 6 guilders 15 nickels for we have to brew from here on in shipsbeer for the Palatines each one a quart daily is 900 gallons dailyx; have sent 1000 O cocoa for 10 bales of hop to be sent at the first opportunity before the winter you should see to it that our brewer stays or that he teaches the Highgerman you have written about have bought around 400 O in goods from DeLancey and Clarke and have received 118 O in money; expect my Love at the first, let them lock up the goods till we come up.
