Boston Novr. 4th. 1760 Sr.,

Herewith I deliver you a Note of Benja. Leigh to me for £20 & an order on him accepted to pay me 11.15.9 together with a power to receive & sue for the money. I pray you to collect the money as soon as you can & if he neglects paying the money in such a manner or you may think he does not intend to pay it, please to put them in suit, & whatever money you may receive of mine please to remit me in the safest manner you can to Boston to the Care of Mr. John Hurd Merchant there. Please to ask Mr. Jno. Burbidge to whom I send a Letter by you if David Belcher's Note to me for £29 is sued & if it is not in an attorney's hands heel give it you to sue. I shall rely on yr. kind assistance in these matters, & hope soon to hear from you. So wishing you health & every desirable success I subscribe yr. ready & obliged Freind hble. Sert.,

B. Leigh's notes are not on Interest but as hee has kept me out of the money so long tis but reasonable he should allow the whole or part. Do the best you can abt. that. Yrs.,
