Synopsis: Hart incloses two sets of bills on himself amounting to 61 pounds. He engaged with a workman "for the screw directed" and he believes it will be finished in a fortnight and shall be sent to Boston or Newport by the very first opportunity. He could not get the lamps, books and "masuset" (mezuzot?) that Lopez had ordered. Thus, he ordered them to be shipped from Amsterdam. In a final annotation to this letter, Hart adds that the screw, the books and the other articles shall ship on May 4 via New York.
