Brackett, Joshua RTP
Boston 25 Sepr. 1780 Sir,

your Goods from Amsterdam have arriv’d, at Newbury Port, in the Brigg Gates, by my letter they Appear to be inclos’d in my Care. I have inform’d your Lady of it, and shall have it up in the first Vessell from there—have receiv’d no line from you since you have been gone, from which sircumstance I am afraid my Buisness has not been done. I beg that I may know, so as to have oppertunity to get the matter determind by the Genl. Court before they Close the session.

I am Sir with great Esteem your Huml. Ser. Josa: Brackett

RC ; internal address: “Honle. R T Pane Esqr.”
