Respected Friend Thomas Rotch
Since I wrote thee last I sent
my Son to washington with an order
for the Box of Cloth & D Shields said there
was no such Box there but a Box of Ma-
chine Cards for Wm Cox so he did not
get it now I suppose the Cloth has been
Packed in a Box that once had Cards in
it, and the Inscription still remains on
it - but if thou will give Elie Haines an
order for the Box the Difficulty may be
overcome & he can get it on his Return
from the Yearly Meeting the River is
still too low to send on the stoves.
I Remain thy Friend
Wm Cock
