[Council to Col^o Philip Thomas]

The Bearer hereof, M^r Stephenson, has applied for a Quantity of
raw Hides for which he proposes to deliver Shoes in Exchange.
He is very well recommended and has a sufficient Quantity of Leather

Period, we have therefore referred him to you, and must beg you
will [pardon] us for giving you so much Trouble.
