Sir By this conveyance I send to your address two hogsheads containing clothing as p^r Invoice for your men — and also a [strikethrough: bale] with six Watch Coats for Captain Stoddart, with a request that you will be so obliging as to procure a safe conveyance and send it to him as early as possible.
