more of the lino sort among them than usual, which upon the whole We judge
will be hotter than any of the Dutch will send, Wo have before ordorod you
to send us Pattorns of all the sorts of Wooleu Goods they may import Wo now
repeat, and if possible you must do it by this Ship.

Colours such as are usually sent for tho Turkey Market which We think will

12. There are also a few Bales of Long Ells of the above Colours by way
of Trial.
