Respected Friend

Agreeably to your favoured of the 8 ultimo I have purchased one Barrell Linseed Oil, & three casks Nails which are shipped by Capt Hussey via Nantucket with bythe guaging Rod also. I procured English Nails there being but a trifling difference in the price of those viz American. The former of which is far superior, Annexed you have a bill of them amount to $167.35 which is to your Debt. I have given Capt Hussey orders to forward these articles by the first packet after his arrival. Please inform your Father that I have also sent him One Barrel Linseed Oil by this conveyance mark'd WR. the other shall send him by a Vessel now here bound to Bedford. I am respectfully your Friend, Jos Hussey
