Dear Sir
It is really a long while since that I have had this pleasure but absence has prevented my attention ere this to your various favors; every thing is right except the pack of Occidents for October which did not come by the Emily altho' your letter said so, Captain Davis says that no such pack came on board. I intend to make you a shipment of Bay Water in a short time, & will see if accounts can't be squared, I have not sold a single sett of Parasah or Prayer books since my last; I have disposed of 3 Prayer Books Oblige me & let me know the names of those for whom I ordered the Pentateuch. I am not yet paid by some I write this evening to James Henry Esq at New York for Matzot, if they bake early in Philadelphia (say earlier than N York, the baker can send to him for me 4 Cases each 25 ? Matzot & 2 Setts Shemurim it would be necessary to inform him of such intention that he does not engage any for me, he is limited to 24th March to ship
Wishing you health & success
I am Dear Sir
Your Obedt Servt

Charleston wants what it will not obtain, such is my idea as $1000 is not an inducement for such a scholar.
