Robert Carter advises London merchant John Goodwin, August 20, 1706, of a previous letter concerning the affairs of the estate of Ralph Wormeley, and that he has received an account of sales and an account current. He reports that the estate trustees have drawn bills of exchange on the estate's accounts for overseer Jeptha Edmunds' wages, and for William Churchill's construction of a mill. He adds that a balance due the estate will be paid to Goodwin, and that he encloses an invoice for goods for the estate which has instructions both for the purchase and shipping.
