To Mr Strother Merchant in Leeds
Chantilly 13th April 1769
Sir
The Bearer comes for the 4 pounds of Tea you promised to put by for me. Be pleased to let him have them, and I will pay you your money the next time I have the pleasure of seeing you.
I am Sir your most humble Servant
Richard Henry Lee
___ Notes:
Mr. Strother evidently had a shop in Leeds on the Rappahannock river near Stratford, also called Leedstown.
