Discusses in detail his financial business related to the Empress of China, the ship he took on his first trip to China. The owners refused to pay him and [Thomas] Randall. Says not only did the owners refuse to pay them upwards of [dollar sign] 3000 but that they also instituted an account against them for [dollar sign] 2300.

The owners are now suing Shaw and Randall for the remaining balance that was not charged to their account. Discusses the legal ramifications they have had to suffer and current lawsuits against them. Writes that after, almost five years, I am a third time going to China, without having received a single dollar of the balance for my services the first time...

Hoffman [and Son], have stepped forth and loaned him [dollar sign] 4000 which has saved both him and Randall from financial ruin.

Writes, I beseech you, my dear friend, I conjure you by the sacred ties of honor, friendship, and ever thing dear among men, that you pay the bill. Consider the great, very great injury this business has already been to Mr. Randall and me. Reflect that our sufferings have proceeded solely from my unbounded reliance on the rectitude and honesty of your character... Dated March 1790. Date of the 15th previously inferred and written on the document in pencil.
