Dear Sir
	I embrace the opportunity of the Regalia to inform you that the Oil procured this Season by the brig Active (which by Mr Thompson's letter to my Agent Mr Robert Campbell I expect will be about a hundred Tons) I have agreed to freight by the Ship May from the Derwent Neale Master at £6.16.6 pr Ton and 5 pr Cent primage the Bill of Lading for which will be forwarded [f] you by Mr Thompson and you can make the necessary Insurance as the Society may think proper, in effecting which there will be no occasion to add the freight as it is to be paid on the delivery of the Oil at Liverpool to your order. I have also to advise of my having drawn a set of Bills in favour of Mr Robert Campbell or order for Six Hundred Pounds which you will please honor and charge to my Account – the Vouchers' for the proportion of the Oil arising to the Master and Crew of the Active will be [f] forwarded by the next Conveyance.
I am
Revd Sir
Your mo Obed hble S[ervant]
