In your Letter of the 30^th. of Octr. I find you have entirely mistaken the meaning of mine of the 28^th. of May giving an Acct. of the qualities of the Tobacco Shipped in the Unity: if you will be at the trouble of reading that Letter over again, you will perceive that I take notice of 3 sorts of Tobo. under such and such numbers, for instance, from No. 1 to No. 6 Inclusive I tell you is of one kind, from 9 to 14 of another, and 15 to 16 are of a third; and then observe, that the rest of the Tobacco is of the same sorts of these 3, only made on different Plantation’s; this I did with a view of getting your opinion on the several sorts, that by comparing the produce of each kind here with the Sales with you, determine my choice of them, the ground yielding more of some sorts than it does of others; but it is very observable that the narrow leaf Tobo. (for the Hhd. No. 10, 13 and 19 noticed in yours of Octr. the 30^th. are of that kind) hits not your taste, nor do I much wonder at it for it was a sort planted by mistake, and altogether without my approbation, and I am so unlucky as to have some of it this year again mixed with the others.
