Copy of a letter to R. Moulton Esqr Jamaica[Coxhoe]
enclosed in the foregoing to P. Scarlett Esqr[March 30. 1806] [1]

I have enclosed this in a letter to Mr S. to deliver to you in case you are still in possession of the Estates. I cannot waste time or patience on the worn out subject, for my wishes will only as usual meet with the same neglect they have hitherto done; I only mean to say, that if, notwithstanding my repeated letters to you to relinquish the Estates, you still hold them, I desires [sic] the Bills of lading and orders for insurance may be sent to Mr J. Scarlett as originally arranged. I remain yrs.

E. M. Barrett

In answer to your laconic epistle I understand your accounts were exhorbitant.

Publication: None traced.

1. Enclosed in a letter of same date to Philip Scarlett.
