begged
your
advice

direction.
Although

I
gave
express
orders
for
pieces
of
the
first
&
last

of
both
pots
already
melted:
yet
they
have
so

misyled
the
barrs,
that
I
can
only
send
you
pieces

of
the
two
pots
distinct;
but
am
not
able
to

tells
you
whither
these
pieces
are
of
the
first

or
last
of
the
respective
pots.
I
referr
you
to

my
last
for
their
Essays
&
for
the
alloy
put

into
these
pots.

You
need
not
give
your
self
trouble
about
the

name
of
the
ship
in
which
our
things
are:
for
we

have
a
bill
of
loading
sent
us.

The
Officers
&
servants
of
the
mint
are
bussy

about
trying
the
Pix
of
the
moneys
coined
before

the
Union:
but
in
a
post
or
two,
I
hope
to
send

you
some
of
Coin,
&
further
nottices
about

our
meltings
&
Pot
Essays.

I
must
beg
of
you
to
acquaint
by
your
next,

in
what
forwardness
the
Puncheons
&
Dyes
are

&
when
we
may
expect
them.
