The Box with the Curtains did not arrive till about twelve days ago when I put them into the hands of a Dyer who has finished them but was obliged to rip them as they could not be dyed and pressed without it—they are packed in the same box in which they Came together with 16 yards of the same kind of Stuff as near as I could make it & 3500 Brass nails—the box is Ship’d on board the Sloop Polly Capt. Ellwood for Alexandria and the bill of Loading delivered to Mr Porter to whom it is Consigned there to forward.1

I funded your Certificate amount £127.6.11 Pennsylvania Currency having first received 84 50/90 Dollars in Indents which are inclosed & will be usefull to you towards payment of Taxes in your State.
