Boston April 10th. 1759 Sr.,

I have not heard from you Since the Money sent for Mr. Dyar by wch. Oppertunity I wrote you. I should be glad to know what is done relating to the dispute wth. Wheats Executors, as also wt. father Simons has done. Please to give my Respects to the Dr. & desire him to befreind me. Mr. Condy has just imported a New Sett of Stranges Reports1 which he tells me cant be afforded under 20 dollars .2 They cost £3.3 in London & I scruple whether you can get them cheaper. I should have consulted you about the price but found they would not be unsold long as they are scarce, & having so good An Oppertunity To send them by Mr. Huntington, you will please to send the money when best suits your Convenience. Yr.,

P.S. I have sent some Notes of Aaron Clevelands to Colo. Dyar of Canterbury if there should be any difficulty please to assist me.
