Philadelphia, Dec 23/65
Mr. Clark
Sir
What money you have for me from the Schr [Schooner?] please pay it over toward my Taxes.
I am loading general cargo for Savannah. I got a fair Freight, but business is very dull & I shall be a long time loading. Coal to Boston is $3.00 & very scarce.
There is a great deal of ice in the river. I am afraid it will close before I get out.
Res. yours
J.W. Carroll
