forward the bill of lading by post
length
inches
freight payable on delivery at one dollar & fifty cents per thousand
observe this number is greater than that which o lately returned
afterward found more that would answer
suppose will not be disagreeable as I conceive Mr. Hackett had better have more than he may want than to fall short any
weather has been intensely cold here which has prevented them being shipped sooner
few vessels have been able to put to sea for ten days past
agreeable to your request
inform you that I have shipped on board the schooner Fanny Robt. Follick, Master
bound direct to Portsmouth
locust trunails
consigned to Mr. James Hackett
