Dear Madam
                       In answer to a Note from Mrs Williamson requiring the whole of the Accounts between us, I have only to remark that the Account has been rendered from the period that the late Mr. Williamson approved the current account between himself and my Father so that it is not only unnecessary but irregular to furnish such an account as is required the Books are always ready to be examined by you or your Sons to whom every possible information will be given. 
                               I am sorry to be obliged to trouble you and sincerely hope that a speedy settlement of the a/c will take place.

                                                           I am
                                                           Dear Madam
                                                           Your Truly

Gentlemen
I received your favour of the 18th August 1827 with account Sales of 21 Bales of Wool shipped hence per Corsair.  I am greatly obliged to you on account of the trouble you have taken in effecting Sales and considering the low state of the markets, have little occasion [indecipherable] for disaffection when I compare our average with that of others either in the London Market or elsewhere.  I hope the Market will advance to give as a fair [indecipherable] price for our Wools -
