With some difficulties I have got the Brig away the last
hindrance was a dangerous one the hands had proposed on
going to See to take the Brig for which I have them on board
the Friget in irons and have shipt other hands the invoises
and accounts of the Cargo are inclosed which I hope will
please I should sent more bread and less flour but they told
me there was room for much more till she was filled, please
inform me if the ship Lidia is to be loaded by me I shall be
down Tuesday or Wednesday next with all my accounts for a
settlement and I hope if I continue to do your business never
to be so long again without handing you your account it stole
on me unsensably as I had no thought when I first came into
the business it would amount so high from your Humble
Servants, Jesse Hollingsworth
