From Foster Hutchinson
Hutchinson, Foster RTP
Boston 30th Janry. 1767 Sir,

I recd. yo. favo. relating to Cornishs affair & the proposal made by Mr. Hall to give his note for what is due to me from Cornish.1 From the character you give of Mr. Hall I am content it should be settled in that way & should be glad if the note could be taken payable in March as I have been so long out of my mony however shall leave the time of payment to be settled by you. At foot you have the amt. of the debt. & costs of Court. I think the Interest should commence from the time the mony was due which was six months after delivery of the Goods however desire you will do the best you can in finishing this affair for me which will oblige Sir yr. most hume. Servt.
