Philadelphia 1st July 1797
Sir—
Captain Lymens trunk has been received and considered — The enclosure a small Bill shews, that he had made no provision to pay the freight of it to our store, and had the as far as I know, requested any person to do it for him — Therefore it, and now enclose it to you that if present, you may receive and credit my account with the amount — as I do not think it worth passing through my Books, as a solitary charge — My clerk is absent but daily expected — Shall have knowledge when he arrives, and will attend to your business — adieu —
your most very sincerely
