Handwritten letter to a mr. Jas. McVicker, Merchant in Larne.
With LOTS of signatures at the bottom.
A trade license for mr. McClintock from Virginia, 1763.
A tax receipt for mr. McClintock.
A letter from LONDON for mr. Benn at Fort Loudoun. I will be able to deliver it into his hands when I return to the fort in March next. Notice the English postmarks.
I do not know the contents of the letter, but it bears black wax upon its back which generally means bad news is contain'd within.

Very nice work, sir!
I guess I better post some of my account books. It'll give me some "content" since I've been rather slack these months. :-)
Kind Sir,
You do me honor and my family honor by bringing this letter to life. Thank you. A job well done on it and the trade and tax documents. I will be seeking your fine hand in the future for more, I assure you.
YHS,
Paul A. McClintock
Bookbinder and Stationer
Mr. McClintock,
I should have your packet in the hands of the postrider very soon.
