Mr Nicholson has Shewed me Mr Anally's bill for Pattern Muskets, and though mine is so much higher, I am convinced as I was at that time Situated with regard to Workmen, that it is not more than adequate to cover Expences I Should also Mention in Selectng the muskets, I endeavoured to have them as, of the Same Pattern as near possible, which caus'd Some that wanted considerable Work to be of my number I have reduced my acct, which the Bearer Mr Robinson will hand you, as low as possible, and wite be obliged by your discharging it for which his Recepts will be Sufficient.
And am Sir Respectfully Yours
