ESTHER REED. 157 MRS. REED TO MR. DE BERDT, LONDON. Philadelphia, Nov. 14th, 1770. The more I see of tlie people here, the more I am convinced, a knowledge of merchants' accounts is absolutely necessary before anything can be done in business. Men in trade here are cheerful and gay at their tables, and acute men of business in their counting-houses and stores, so that without a perfect and accurate knowledge of accounts and exchange, a person would soon become ridiculous, and could stand no cha...nce of carrying on busi- ness ; but, with a proper knowledge, I think a good stroke might be struck, though not in the common way of importing, but in the manner, Mr. Reed used to mention, of little things out of the common road that come cheap. Miss Pearson is making a for- tune by going to England and bringing back new fashions in her way. Articles for gentlemen's use, would answer as well ; as to the common articles of wear, the country will soon be over- stocked ; vast quantities of goods come already from New York and Maryland, and all the coun- try people are spinning coarse linen, which they find their account in.
