Synopsis: Gomez informs Lopez that he sent Lopez 3 lottery tickets by a friend before the Sabbath. The tickets are on behalf of David Lopez, Aaron's brother. Gomez gives his condolences for the death of Aaron's child. He tells that, in the previous year, his brother David Gomez had invested £240 in green wax and tallow that he sent to the "islands" (Caribbeans?) and these goods are still unsold since the prices are very low. For this reason, Gomez advises Lopez against the production of candles.
