Port Charges in 1811.]
Should you at your port of discharge be able to procure to the amount
of 3 or 4000 dollars in Undoubted Bills on the Havana at 30 or 60 days
sight at a handsome discount, guarenteed by either of the houses we
have recommended you to, we think it adviseable for you to take them
and invest the proceeds in the Havana as we may think best on your
arrival there--
We should not confine the destination of the Ship after her discharge
in Europe but think it so unlikely for you to get employ either at,
Lisbon, Cadiz or Gibralter for the Ship it will be best to fix her
destination that we may be able with what we shall load ourselves to
obtain freight sufficient to fill her up in the Havana without loss of
time--
[Sidenote: Remuneration]
The voyage being different from our expectations when you left Boston,
we agee to give you for your services Thirty dollars p^{r} month, Two
pecent on the nett Sales of your Cargo and half p^{r} Cent on your
remitting Bills to England or returned Cargo and five p^{r} C^{t} primage
on your Cargo from the Havana to the United States, We believe all the
Shippers except Mr G. Snow consign their goods to you and allow you
the same commissions and we understand Mr Snow consigns to you in case
you should not sell at Lisbon--
Should the terms before mentioned meet your approbation you will
acknowledge this agreement to be the terms on which you proceed the
voyage--
