Dear Sir,

We have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter of yesterday and agreeably to your desire we have paid Messrs Ragan & Co. Two hundred pounds (£200) on your acct

We are very glad to find that you have such pleasant accounts from Mr. Hilton, but unless the Sugars be of a superior quality, we are much afraid judging from the present state of the Market,—that the proceeds will not equal more than that of last year. We beg your attention to the annexed few lines from the |writer|, & remain

Dear Sir

Yr faithful [illegible word]

Milligan Robertson & Co

E M Barrett Esq
