Dear Sir /

As I expect to have £100- more of Arrears - ready to be remitted to you by the end of this Week, I beg the favor of your informing me when you write next - to whom I shall pay this amount -

I rec^d your Message respecting Miss [Brackstone's?] ² House & have communicated it to M^rs Barton - I hope she may take the House - as she has always been a good Tenant & in that case, Rainsford the Tailor, would rent the House w^ch she now occupies - I found the three Bills on your Table & found after examining that of John Phelps - there was only one Item not belonging to the Abbey - w^ch was for Snozzell's House -

The Draft of the Conveyance for the Fisherton Advowson³ - was sent to my Son⁴ last Week & afterwards forwarded to M^r King⁵ - I was glad to learn that M^r Finch ⁶ had seen you at Lacock & I trust that he explained to your satisfaction - the respectability of the Parties for whom he had been treating - it appears to me quite clear, that the Living must be, bona fide, filled up, before any Money can be rec^d for the Advowson

-

I am Dear Sir Y^r Obliged Ser^t
