[Council to Richard Dallam Esqr.]

Sir When we sent you Tobacco, we thought it reasonable to
expect you would readily get it off your Hands, at the Price limited,
as every Person will have to pay Tobacco to the Public within this
Month or afterwards Money at the Rate of 90 £ p O If you cannot
make it answer agreeable to our former Instructions, please to send
it to us. We have no Return made by M^r Wheeler, of the Teams
procured by him nor indeed any Specie in the Treasury, therefore
cannot pay M^r Wheeler's Order. We send by M^r Smith £150 of
the new Bills amounting to six thousand Pounds at 40 for 1 which
we hope you will be able to pass at that Rate, and on Notice that you
have Occasion for a further Sum, we will forward it to you have
Occasion for a further Sum, we will forward it to you
