Synopsis
Gratz laments that the butter he sent “had not turn’d out to expectation”. He hopes to send Lopez 500 to 600 lb of bees wax. The lumber cannot be obtained on good terms without cash, unless in exchange for a few hogsheads of rum and molasses. Information on prices of white and red oak hogsheads and staves. He incloses a bill lading for 14 barrels of beef. He expects to ship Irish beef and Irish butter to Lopez soon. Spermaceti candles are in a little demand.
