Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 87

Butts of Wine which I ordered hither for His Ldp & shall
have them put in a proper place to meliorate against the Time
His Ldp may order them to England which I presume he will
not do at soonest before the latter End of next Summer. This
being the first Opportunity that has offered since the 10^th of
February last I embrace it to remit you Bills for the Sum of
£123 2 6 which is £1 17 6 short of what I should have paid
could I get Bills for just £125 but that not being at this time
in my power I shall in my next half years Remittance make
good the Deficiency.
