Sir! Bridgwater 14th March. 1777

Agreably to your Directions I enquired of Mr. Jarvis concerning some Copper belonging to the Continent. He told me that he had about 15 C. which he had orders to convey to Springfield which he should do as soon as the Roads were passable, but at the same time he signify’d that he had no objection to the Copper’s being brought to this Furnace, provided that you, or any person properly impowered woud. order it to be stop’d. I am with the profoundest Esteem Sir your obedt. & hule. Sert.,

Ephm. Keith junr.

N.B. The Copper is to be sent to Taunton.
