of the Ifland of Barhadots. 



the Ship may arrive at the Barbadoes (if fhe make no ftay by the way) 

 about the middle of December-^ and it is an ordinary courfe to fail thi- 

 ther in fix weeks : Coming thither in that cool time of the yearjyour 

 Viduals will be in good condition to be removed into a Store-houfe 

 which your Correfpondent , (who, I account, goes along with it) 

 muft provide as fpeedily as he can, before the Sun makes his return 

 from the Southern Tropick 5 for then the weather will grow hot , and 

 fbme of your Goods, as. Butter, Oyle, Candles^ and all your Liquors, 

 will take harme in the remove. 



The Goods being ftowed in a Ware-houfe, or Ware houfes, your 

 Correfpondent muft rcferve a handfome room for a Shop, where his 

 fervants muft attend 5 for then his Cuftomers will come about him , 

 and he muft be careful whom he trufts ^ for, as there are fome good, 

 fo there are many bad pay-mafters 5 for which reafbn , he muft pro- 

 vide himfelf of a Horfe , and ride into the Country to get acquain- 

 tance 5 and half a dofen good acquaintance, will be able to enform 

 him, how the pulfe beats of all the reft: As alfb by enquiries, he will 

 finde , what prices the Goods bear , which he carries with him, and 

 fell them accordingly, and what valews Sugars bear, that he be not 

 deceived in that Commodity 5 wherein there is very great care to be 

 had, in taking none but what is very good and Merchantable and in 

 keeping it drie in good Casks, that no wetor moiftaire come to it , 

 and lb as he makes his exchanges, and receives in his Sugars, or what 

 other commodities he trades for , they lie ready to fend away for 

 England , as he finds occafion , the delivering of the one , making 

 room for the other , for Ships will be every month , fbme or other, 

 coming for England, If he can tranfport all his goods, raifed upon 

 the Cargo, in eighteen months, it will be very well. This Cargo be- 

 ing doubled at t\\QBarbadoes^th2il returned back, will produce at leaft 

 50 per cent. And then your Cargo, which was 1 145I. at fetting out, 

 and being doubled there to 2 2 90I. will be at youv XQtuxn fox England 

 943 5I. of which I will allow for freight,and all other charges 335I. 

 fo there remains to account 5100I. clear. By which time, I will take 

 for granted , that your Correfpondent has bargained , and gone 

 through for a Plantation,vvhich we will prefuppofe to be of five hun- 

 dred acres, Stock't as I have formerly laid dovvn^ (for vve muft fix 

 upon one, that our computations may beaccordinglyj) if itbemore or 

 left, the price muft be anfvverable,and the Produce accordingly. And 

 therefore aswebegan,we will make this our lcale,that 14000I. is to 

 be paid for a Plantation of 500 acres Stock't. Before this time,! doubt 

 not, but he is alio grown fb well verft in the traffick of the Ifland,as to 

 give you advice, what Commodities are fitteft for your next Cargo, 

 and according to that inftruftion jou are to provide,and to come your 

 felfe along with it. 



By this tirfie, I hope, your remaining 185 5I. by good employment 

 in England^ is raifed to 2000I. So then you have 5 Tool, to put into a 

 new Cargo, which I would not have you venture in one Bottom. 

 But if it pleafe God, that no ill chance happen, that Cargo of5iooL 

 having then time enough to make your beft Market , may very well 

 double3& loool. overjvvhich loool.I will allow to go out for fraight,
