Will you have the goodness to pay the postage of this Letter & put it into the post & to enquire at my house if there be a letter for me with Capt Colbys name on the outside & if so open it & let me know the contents addressing me Post Office Port Patrick1.
I write in great haste to secure the post
Your sincere friend | H. Davy
