Sir
I beg leave to inform you, the young Man the Botanist call'd on me last Thursday respecting his Bill I deliver'd to you, informing me at the same time, that you was so kind to say you would pay it provided there was some deduction for the Crates & Straw. I shall be very happy to make what allowance you think proper, at the same time be pleased to understand mine is a ready money business & as I have a Bill to pay tomorrow a Draft will be doing me a singular favor
I am your hble Servt
