Dear Sir

We beg to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed favor by Post, |advising| draft on us in favor of the Honble D. Robertson for £728 which shall meet our honor.

We are glad you are pleased with our |Sales| of your coffee– Before we disposed of it we had tried it four different times at Auction Sale but could not get so good a price as we at last obtained for it. Coffee of the |minhing| most ordinary descriptions does not sell so well now as formerly, in consequence of huge importations of this kind [illegible word] now much into the home |much if from the trust|

We remain

Dear Sir

Very respectfully, faithy yours

Harvey & Daniel

S. M. Barrett Esqr

Address, on integral page: S. M. Barrett Esqr / of Cinnamon Hill / Little River.
