Dear Sir
I have just now left the meeing of Poldice advenrs: They have been very confused, but have given me directions to order the goods. I shall proceed to take the necessary measures for that purpose but hope you will come here soon to gett matters signed and sealed for other wise some of them may be disposed to be ignorant of the Transaction when it is their interest to be so, At present all is smooth as oil, There is a violent dispute arisen between Wl Virgin Adventurers & the rest of the combination wch may terminate in law. Being just going home I have not time to add more except the repetition of the wish to see you as soon as possible Yours sincerely
James Watt
