I will talk to Strachan & DeCourt about Hats if I can remember
it.

I found it necessary to put the buttons up in the deal box
to guard them against the wet I pa wrapped them up in two
or 3 papers, then in a piece of old dusty bays: then in a leather powderry
-bag tying it up as tight as possible: that again in another piece of bays
and that in a sheet of paper to prevent it's dirty other things. I had
the ingenuity to string them together by the shanks in order to prevent
from rattling about and scratching one another.

The trunk and the box went off to Grills this morning
at 12 o'clock. Grills people told me last night that there would be
no need of sending them to the custom-house. Observing in &
about the trunk places for leather straps I got a fair price 5s.6d. I
directed them for you at John Hanbury's Esq.r Hamburgh; sending a note to
Grill to desire him to send a letter of advice if necessary.

I must make haste & put this up. The Dutchmen go off
at 4 or 5 o'clock this afternoon which is sooner than I expected.
