Per Post

Boston April 9th 1765

Dear Brother

I duly rec'd your fav'r of 1st curr'tt advising you had deliverd the
money to Brother Joseph. I forwarded you per post for him & Benjamin
Townsend, with Bro'r Josephs rec't for the £110.7.0/2 New York curr'y
delivered him. Am glad he is better in body, which hope will be a meane
of restoring him to a firm state of mind. The inclos'd acco'tt is as they
stand in my books & as I render'd them to him, & are as particular & dis-
tinct, from any other acco'tts as can be. As I rec'd nothing of Wimble for the
12 bbs pippins they stand blank on bothsides of the acco'tt. He will pay him for them when demanded. The mourning I bought for him in May 1763
he orderd Capt. Wimble to pay me in his letter of the 12th Aug't following
which was accounted for accordingly by Capt. Wimble 1st Octo'r 1763 & his acco'tt
to that time clos'd in my books. The acco'tts since that I think are plain.
In his letter of the 11th July 1764 he inclosd me my acco'tt with my fathers estate
in which he charg'd me with the neat proceeds of the apples & sent me an ord'r
on Capt. Wimble for £42.4.11 York curr'y to discharge what I advanc'd for
gloves & mouring for Mr. Hatch &c (particulars of which is inclosd also)
amounting to £42.6.9/2 lm'o which he credited me for in that acco'tt as
I chose the money should rest with him on acco'tt of the buildings I trans-
ferd it to his particular acco'tt & return'd him his order on Capt. Wimble in
my letter of 22'd Aug't last. I dont know how to make it plainer then the
acco'tts do, in which he has c'r for his part of the buildings. The estate is
accountable to him for the £42.6.9/2 lm'o (or for the difference between that
& the neat proceeds of the apples if they were on acco'tt of the estate) and I
suppose also for the bricks & lime. I think you cant fail of making
it plain to him when you have the acco'tts, that I have paid him fully
for this part of the buildings, if there should be any mistake I am ready
to rectify it. I'll assist Conkling all I can in getting a vessell, it is uncer-
tain whether the sloop will be sold or not, or whether the schooner will be here
when he arrives, beleive there will be no difficulty about the time of payment,
am heartily glad of your success in the affairs of the Church, suppose the
deed sent you may be a proper form, it was judgd so by Mr. Fitch & Mr. Canor
& is taken from a precedent drawn up by the late Mr. John Reed. We are all
well & tender our love to you & yours, I am

Your affec'te brother

Mr. John Lloyd

[P.]S. The schooner will be detain'd & not sold till Conkling has seen her.
[?]ont it be necessary to furnish him with the execution order for the
[a?]pplying the money towards purchasing the vessell. I wrote you some time agoe that the government security would
[b?]e paid off as they become due, & that those who incline may have their money continued in the Treasury @ 5 per 6' as the note
for the money belong? To my bro'r Woolseys estate is due next June & will be p'd off then it is proper that you conclude beforehand
whether you continue the money in the Treasury or not. Betsey Lloyds years interest becoming due the 18th last March, youl
please to inform how it is to be dischargd
