promised to let him have one thousand pagodas at interost, which give him. I have likewise promised to let Mr. Thomas Wendey() (as soon as you have money) have two or three thousand pagodos for two or three years at interest at eight per cent, which pray give him, he haveing promised me to send home to me the interest every year at respondentia or bills. The remaining money, let at respondentia on what ships you judge convenient, and in case you cannot at respondentia, let it at interest.
The 18 sheets that I have deliver'd Mr. Toriano, pray gett washed and send them home by Mr. Hugonin() or by any Europe captain, marking them at the ends with such stuff as you put when you send cloth to the washerman. Mark them [monogram of J. S.] and desire Mr. Hugonin or the captain that carries them to use them and carry them foul ashore at Surratt.
I sold Mr. Ennis [Innes] 20 tubs of camphire; half of them belongs to Captain Harry. When you receive the amount of them, pay Captain Harries part to Mr. Sitwell.(5)
Mr. Maubert concerned me under him on the George bound to Moca, which Mr. Turner(1) will cloar. If you judga Mr. Rawson Hart will make any voyage the next year in his great ship(S) that will turn to account, you may concern me under him two or three thousand pagodas, and if you have more money in your hands then you can let out at respondentia or interest and you can concern me in a few ships that you judge may doe well, then I desire you to act as you think fitt.
