London. Draft of letter to Robert Shee. Yours of 12, 18, and 29 November received; sent enclosed letters to East St and Sir John Lambert. Grimaldo fair to both sides; have you told him about my affairs? Eyles says Eon denies all, but Court of Directors on guard and sensible of Stanhope's diligence. I opposed Jamaica location for Assiento factory; boosting private traders harms SS Co; Spanish memorial about shipping silver from Jamaica in 2 men of war. Vera Cruz ship low profit; sober Court there poor market for gay laces, etc. My own pretensions can't interfere with Reservations; HCM and oversight of ship accounts. As soon as Cedula passes for confirming Reservations, send me remittance in name of Robert Sedgewick, merchant, for I am out of cash.
