Request Mr. Palmer to have one hundred Sharpe's rifles
packed in casks, like hardware, and to retain them subject to my order; also to
send the bill to me by mail. I will pay it either with my note, according to
the terms agreed on between him and Dr. Webb,1 or in cash, less
interest at seven per cent per annum.
