Hyde & Goodrich ´to deliver the invoice you left of wines &c´ and continues ´They have received two bills of lading, and it seems the articles are divided upon two vessels. One the ”William Frothingham” Capt. Stetson from Havre, containing nos. 1119. 1120. 1121. 1122. - 1124. No.1123 is not in bill of lading, nor in the other, which is the ”Wm. Nelson” Capt. Cheever also from Havre. This latter vessel has the box of vine plants only´ , further writing ´It seems you will be obliged to be here to make oath to the Invoice at the Custom house, since the invoice is in your name. The vessels have neither of them yet arrived. Perhaps by the time the latter vessel arrives, you will be here´ . Morse concludes his letter by asking ´How can you account for the omission of the box of Old Cognac?´ . With integral address leaf in Morse´s hand (small tears and area of paper loss caused by the original opening). A couple of light creases, otherwise VG
