Sir,

Llansantraed House ¹ is to be let from year to year at £180 per Ann^m the Tenant paying all rates and Taxes or two hundred pounds per Ann^m the Landlord undertaking to pay those charges but as this is not a convenient time for leaving a House on account of the Garden I prefer letting for six or eighteen months so that the Tenancy should end at the 2^d of Feb^y next or at Feb^y 2^d 1841 –

The Tenant will be expected to keep the interior of the House and the Furniture in good order and repair – ordinary deterioration being allowed, and the Landlord will keep the outside of the Premises in repair – should these times suit your views I must beg an answer by return of post. having another application from a Gentleman in Bath who expects a reply

I am Sir
Your very ob^t Sv^t
