		 Dear sir 
			Your favor of the 17 inst
received. I hope you have purchased Ny sugar
and have not used my order to purchase for 
other folks  It is very Scarce here now but if
two parties should get it then the market
would be broke down. In fact after this I
dont want part of lots of goods that other parties
have I had rather have something different
I find my Tea trade all beat down on 
consequence of Lemon having the same Kind
If you can buy me 20 Bales straw paper send it
along. I see you have large arrivals of [molasses]
from the S.I. It is worth 30 cents here if you 
can buy one or two hundred bbls so as to pay send 
it along
			Yours Truly
                                 JA McCrea
