Boston Octor. 2. 1770 Sir,

I recd. yours of 1st Inst.1 Am glad to hear that Adam has given a mortgage. I have made some proposals to him about his Goods, and as you have no Suspicion of an attachment you may deferr puting the mortgage on Record 'till we see whether he complys with my proposals which I think are reasonable. Mean Time am yr. hum. Ser.

THOS. GRAY
