Title	Thomas Rotch to his cousin, New Bedford 12 mo 12th 1793
Subject	Business and commerce
Place	New Bedford (Massachusetts)
Description	In this letter, Thomas Rotch tells an unnamed cousin that he is sending a small trunk containing a Squash that when removed needs to be replaced by a coat and britches at J. Goulds (perhaps a store) and the goods are to be sent on by ship. Rotch includes $15 for the cost of these goods and adds that there may be a balance that may cover the cost of honey. Also he adds that Charity Rotch mentions that the squash must be boiled rather than stewed with the seeds removed. 7.5" x 5.5" (19 by 14.4 cm)

I have sent to thy care a small Trunk containing a Squash when taken out. I should be much obliged by thy puting in a Coat & a pair of breaches now at J Goulds and sending it on Board P Mashen by whom this goes. ~ I have sent thee by the Bearer fifteen Dollars out of it to pay for the Honey thou sent for which please to accept my thanks. My wife desires me to say the squash must not be stewed but boild. I need not add that the seeds must be taken out. ~ From thy assured Friend & Cousin Thos Rotch
