“New York Feb. 5th 1853
R.P. Hunt Esq.
Dear Sir,
We wrote you a day or two since advising payments of bills of of wool in New York (which are enclosed to you) and of a remittance to Harrington & [Warren?] of $10,000 which they have acknowledged receipt of –
Since our last purchase of cotton the market greatly advanced say to 11 1/4 [cents] for our quality and is now back again to 10 ¾ - We bought today 30 Bales at 10 5/8 but it was in connection with another party who took a lot and let us have the 30 Bales by which we saved the 1/8 c
Ten bales will go today and the other 20 the first fair weather via Harlem Road to Albany –
In the last few days we had made no sales, but our expectations are good – all the goods of which we have Invoices say up to 89 are in store –
Are you able to get up to the quantity – we hope you will be able to turn at [60000?]"
On back of document:
"yards per [illegible] for the coming three months –
The money market is full 7% with no present prospect of change – Exchange is getting up – Interest is dearer in England and a general activity which gives employment for money – Yours truly
Almy, Patterson & Co”
