Saint Genevieve, April, 25, 1808.

Dear Sir

I have inclosed to you a Bill of loading for a Cargo of shott and Lead shiped on board of Mr. Ashly's Barge—which you will be so good as to store for my account—I have also forwarded a Bill of loading to Mr. Charles Carr Lexington with an Invoice of the Cargo and also with orders to call on you for the same whenever he may think proper. You will therefore deliver said shott and Lead to the order of Mr. Carr, whenever demanded except as herewith advised. When the Cargo is removed from your store house you will forward your bill of storage to Mr. Charles Carr for payment.
