Boston July l0th 1758 Sr.,

I wrote you a while ago Inclosing a Power. I doubt not your freindly assistance. The Occasion of this present is, Mrs. Freeman writes me word that there was an indorsmt. on the back of the Note of £15. Pray be kind enough to enquire out that matter for I know Nothing of it, whose hand writing it was, who it was paid to; & when paid. I am sory to trouble you well knowing yr. hurry of Business & the strong attraction you have this way. Your Ribb1 is pretty tollerable considering all things. I wishing you ample success & a speedy return. I subscribe yr. Obliged hble. servt.,
