morrow) to their Several destinations — In future I recommend 

 that Each parcel of numbers for the diferent individuals are rolled 

 up in separate Parcel, inclosed in good stout brown Paper, and 

 each directed outside, enumerating the numbers therein contained 

 — then put all the Rolls in a Box — in this manner they all will 

 be less liable to Injury, will not need to be undone here for we have 

 no trouble at all at the Custom House, and it will Save the handling
