There is a despatch in circulation saying that Bills for £2500 have been drawn by Capn Gossett [Gosset]. Perhaps these bills form a part of that sum.

Please attend to this when the despatch returns from circulation.

It is impossible to identify the Bills. The Despatch may therefore be sent to the Treasy without reference to this.
Put by.
