Mr. Clark
Sir

What money you have for me from the Schr [Schooner?] please pay it over toward my Taxes.

I am loading general cargo for Savannah. I got a fair Freight, but business is very dull & I shall be a long time loading. Coal to Boston is $3.00 & very scarce.

There is a great deal of ice in the river. I am afraid it will close before I get out.

Res. yours
J.W. Carroll
