John Cowper to Thomas Cooke, 16 November 1779

Sending some bank notes and asking for confirmation that they have been received safely, indignantly apologising for any mistrust on either side, he has much to high a regard for you to have been deceptive, sending his compliments to all. Second half of the letter confirms the receipt of the bank notes, and they are pleased to hear that his father is well
