Synopsis
Seixas reports that he received Lopez’s last letter informing him that he would leave Philadelphia and return home for Pesah, but another letter from Mr Josephson to his daughter had noticed that Lopez was still in Philadelphia. Seixas gives him the news on his family and Mr Rivera in Leicester. Rivera had ordered a ton of flour for Seixas. Low prices of flour in Boston due to the depreciation of the paper currency. Seixas asks Lopez if he finds his son Benjamin Seixas, to ask him to write back to him and his siblings.
