N.C. Bath. July 20th. 1752 Sr.,

I hope before this Time you have dispatch'd a Vessell. If you have not yr. Interest calls aloud for it the Tar has been running out for a long Time & if the Vessell don't come Soon I shall have nothing to put on Board her. I ought to have been at home two months ago, for I am sure my tarrying here can be an advantage to no Body. Pray Consider & Relieve the affliction of yr. Freind & humble Servt.,
