Commentary
This is a receipt from Rob't Livingston Jr. to Burger Huyck for funds received on behalf of Smyvers for the account of Miss Botch, Livingston acting as a trusted intermediary in this transaction. It appears that Burger Huyck has sent an underling to Albany with these funds, perhaps on another mission as well. A trip to Albany was a significant undertaking in those days.
