Mr Richard Edwards
Respected friend
Nothing of much Importance Occur- ring, I have beene Slack in writing, which I guess may be the Same reason that I have not heard from you Since my last.f Which hope you received and therein my thanks for your Care in providing those things I desired of you, which that they are not yet received I Cannot Impute in the least to any defect on your part, but that it might be Some punctilio, $ Either that he with whom you left them [line illegible] If you Suppose there may doubts be[illegible] them Con- cerriing the proceed of those things hither, that you would by the next to Hugly cleer [? them] And be pleased, if it be in your power to Effect it, that they may Come downe by the first Conveyance, which when it maybe is uncertain, for the ketch Arrivall that was first Ordred downe is now forbidden On [sic] fear of the Dutch, The ne[ws] of whose transactions both here in In[dia and Eu]rope will, I suppose, Come to yo[u by] other Conveyances. So I shall decline [? sup- ply]ing you with any thing of that nature.
Your most ready fri[end to] serve you
