Sr Thomas,
Inclosed is a Lettr to Mr Morris, which I desire you’ll p’ruse, Seal & inclose it by yr Servt.

Honest Will,
I perceive by yrs of the 3d that you have sold 160 Trees to Fenwick & his partners at <11s> pr tree.

The first payment is well enough but I think tis an unreasonable to give him so long a time for the second
