My dear Sir

I have been absent Town for some time past on urgent business & as none of my letters C^d be forwarded to me I have only this day seen your letter.

I think you may with safety sell & convey the advowson¹ to M^r Finch² expressly reserving the right to the Presentation to the present Vacancy – then you may present whom you please & neither you or M^r Finch will incur any risk – There sh^d be no promise made to M^r Finch to present his Nominee that tho’ it may be so inferred & understood. If M^r Finch will pay his Purchase money on these Terms – all will be safe & right

The late Incumbent deed 7 Oct^r

I am D^r Sir yours truly
W.R. King
