"To the following amounts paid...31st October, 1798 for 84 ounces and 3 dwt of Spanish cut silver...for the purpose of making two large and two smaller wine cups, with handles and shifting covers...which silver I put into the hands of Enos Reeves as the only person in Charleston capable of finishing such in a proper manner; and of whom have only received the smaller cups in June last...he is very slow about them, and his pew rent is to be discounted from his charge of making 21.0.8"
