Sir
James Hamilton left this City for Pittsburgh this day — He takes with him besides [Major?] [Cap?]'s Baggage a[nd] the Cask of Sherry Wine for you which is warranted to be of the [undecipherable] quality to which I hope will prove to be so — To enable you to adjust the Waggoners account, I have given my opinion that three hundred weight of the baggage may be charged to the [latter?] — the remainder I consider as payable by himself for reasons which I have suggested in a Letter to his [undecipherable] that accompanies this — you will [do?] as circumstances may determine to be right — adieu
