I expected to have put all the Lead on board this Vessel, but they refused taking more. putting it on board two vessels has made our difference in the bills lading, but as they will arrive, near together, they can the more readily be rectified. Wishing it safe to hand, I remain respectfully, Y^r M^o ob^t Edw^d [undecipherable] W^m Sam^l Hodgdon [Received from State Dep't. Nov. 24. 1894.
