Sr	my last to you was of the 13 past Since none from you, So this is chiefly to Send you bill of loading & Invoice of the above mentioned goods  I hope they will prove to Content, if the Wind had continued Easterly the Ships had Sailed this Day but you may Expect they will Saile wth the first wind, flax keeps yet dear & will continue So as long as the fleet is here, flax is always cheapest when no Ships are here, when you order any goods, if it is the Same to you it would be much better I could draw on your friend in London, but in the least inconvenient will always draw payble in Newcastle
