Mr Wm Burrowes & Son Hamburgh



Gentlemen	By Mr Blackett’s desire I wrote to you on the 6th Inst since which he is favoured with your letter of the 1st inst and observes that you have not purchased the Quantity of Rye that he ordered and that the price has advanced, on which account he has supplied himself with a Quantity here considerable lower than you have it at your Market, and desires that you will not at this time Purchase any for him; but should you have purchased any part of the Order, before the Receipt of this, and it be attended with any inconvenience to you to dispose of it again in Hamburgh, he will certainly take it, but hopes this may not be the case _ I am for John E Blackett Esqr

                                                                 Gentn    Your most H[um]ble Serv[an]t

                                                                                                       Josa Straker
