To Mr Holmes                                  			Farnacres 21st November 1775



Dear Sir

       We have this day drawn upon you for £216.5.8 being the Balance of Account due from you for 679 3/4 Ounces of Bullion at 5s9 1/4d P Ounce and £24 for the Holly after deducting Freight and Commission, and we look upon ourselves as much obliged to you, and are sorry the Cargo was not greater as we are sensible you had the same trouble about it, as if it had been four times as much.  We have inclosed a Bill and Receipt for the Freight and Commission which you will be pleased to Sign and return to us, being necessary for a Voucher.

       On the 11th inst we sent you a Box of Bullion by the London Carrier containing 824 1/2 Ozs which we doubt not you will duly receive & are

       Dear Sir  etc
