Cheks bought from George Clarke as per included invoice for £72:6:- have to make sure he remains our friend as he controls so much, have sent today to Boston with Wm. Marsh 10:3:4 Cocoa costs from Stephen deLancey 4 1 keep it assigned to Mr. John Borland to sell it and buy 10 bales of hop and buy as much hopx there as you can get Brother Derks has hop, If When you come up down return Mons. De Pree goes up all the yachts are being pressed now to send up the people and in/at the first......still 19 days but now it comes out what the reason was that our land had/was such......after which/because the Governor doubted if they would be sent there. Our beer xxxxxxxxxxx is already gone and 50 barrels spoken for by 2 people Mr. Shakkerley (?) 30 and Jackee 20 so there is no doubt in the selling as soon as I can I will get the remainder of the goods as much as is on the list. Will try to get 2 to 300 x in money from deLancey for the winter reserve all the wheat. When our yacht returns it will bring the goods for the Palatines up and no people. Am sending some butter and flour. There were 2 pieces of cotton for the trade flowered and striped which aren’t on the invoice. The Negro Tom returned home last night had been to visit his folks, this is all for present from,
your beloved loving husband Rt. Livingston
