Mr How

Sir I had a small present of wine in bottles sent me from my son who is a merchant in Rotterdam & I p[er]ceive by your master Willm Watson that he came by Whitby & that you & your brother Custom house officer Mr Burnett seized the wine, I know tis seizable but such a small present to a Gent is [struck out: ‘allwayes’] usually restord by any officer that understands Civility so I Desire you will do me the favour to let me know by a line directing your letter for me at Newby nigh Rippon whether you will returne the small present or not if you think you will come to any Prejudice by it shall write to my Kinsman Mr Draper who is you know one of the Chief of officers in Hull & desire it of you (in case there be occasion) Have writ by this post the very same letter to Mr Burnett for fear you should be from home I don’t in the least question but to receive a satisfactory answer from you which will much oblige Sr

      Your assured friend to serve you



For Mr How Custom hous[e] officer in Whitby
