Dear Sir

       In my Letter of this day to my Brother Smeaton I desired he would acquaint you I had reced your Letter of the 13th & drawn upon you for the Cake of Bullion last sent, but thinking it more regular that this shd come from me byway of Letter I now give you this trouble to inform you that I have this day drawn upon you for £220.16.6 being the amount of 751 3/4 Ounces of Bullion at 5s10 1/2d POunce. The Bill is payable 30 days after date to the Order of Mssrs Bell Cookson Carr Widdrington & Saint. About the latter end of this Month I expect we shall have another Cake larger than the above which I purpose sending to you.
