Sir:

I have received your Letter dated the 27th of Jan’y, 1789, and agreeably to your order enclosed, have sent to your Excellency an account of all the Tobacco that I have purchased this season now lying in Halifax Warehouses, and cannot purchase any more for the want of money, tho’ it is now selling very cheap.

I am, &c.,
