Sir:

The advice I have from my brother at Philadelphia, relative to the Com^y's consignment of tea, is, that it was very doubtful how it would be received there, the measure being looked upon in an unfavorable view in general.

I am, sir,

Your most obedi^t ser^t

Geo. Browne.

Mr. Settle.

Your very hum. serv^t
