staples, etc., must be made sufficiently strong, if not already so,
while you are at Liverpool, where you are to procure a strong
padlock and key, for the purpose of securing said specie in the
most complete and safest manner; and when you have the certainty
that it is wanted to pay for the coffee purchased on account of the
ship ----, then you are to receive the said coffee, and pay or
deliver to your consignee Spanish dollars to the amount of said
purchase, and no more, having due regard to the premium or advance
allowed at Batavia on old Spanish dollars; and in that way you are
to continue paying or delivering dollars as fast as you receive
coffee, which is not to exceed the quantity which can be
conveniently stowed on board said ship ----, observing to take a
receipt for each payment, and to see that the net proceeds of the
goods, which will have been shipped at Liverpool, must be invested
in coffee, as far as the sales will permit, and shipped on board of
said ship.
