Sir
This serves to cover you Ind: & Bill Lading of Lead agreeable to your request, in which its possible there may be some error. owing to the negligence of of the Male. who repute the truckman delivered one load more than I have charg'd. I expected to have put all the Lead on board this Vessel, but they refus'd 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, Yr. Mc. &c.
Elwd. Bruck &
W. Sam. Hodgdon
