Robert Carter writes to London merchant Micajah Perry, [August 27, 1728], to remind him that merchant dward Randolph is to give him money due Carter from Robert Bolling. He also writes that funds accruing from his ownership of the Lloyd estate he would like to leave invested in Perry's hands at 4 per cent interest.

     any Credit for the money I expected would be paid to you from Mr. Edwd.
Randolph I have already told you the Story Colonel Bolling Sent 67 hogsheads
to him the produce of which was Two hundred & thirty 1 pounds which
Randolph acquainted him Should be paid to my order and I have
given you directions already to receive it however it may not be a
miss to Send you an order upon him for it, which I do here Enclose
desiring it may be paid to you,

      Supposing I am Master of the LLs Estate I think I
may fairly reckon I Shall have Two thousand pounds in your hands
to be put out to Interest and I am very willing it Should lie in your hands
at 4 per cent which I cannot but think it may be of Advantage to you I know
I can let it out in Parcels upon good Security here at 6 per cent but I had
rather it Should remain Entire Together you know what a poor trade
we have at this time and how great a family I have to provide for
and how Incumbent upon me it is to go into all the fair measures I
can to make provision for my Younger Children I shall leave it here
& Conclude at present
