HCA26GENTLEMEN, I congratulate you upon a prize I have taken this day, named the Sally, Thomas Tracy, master, from Charles Town, South Carolina, bound to Nantz, loaded with 470 whole, and 120 half barrels rice, and betwixt twenty and thirty casks of indigo. I have put in Mr. Smith as prize master, who will acquaint you of every particular since our sailing. Am in a hurry to dispatch the prize, as I am informed there were 30 sail more to sail from Charles Town the day after them, and am anxious to be amongst them. You'll please remember me to my friends, as I have not time to write them. I remain,
Gentlemen, Your much obliged humble Servant, N. HOLLAND.
"P.S. Mr. Smith has behaved very well with me, and executed his office as I could wish. Would be much oblished to you to assist him in another birth"
