Dear Sir,

I have received £121– from Captⁿ Gladstone ² to pay for the Cottage & Garden at Bowden Hill (including £1– for ¼ Y^rs Rent from Lady day to the present time) and have remitted the same to your Bankers Mess^rs Coutts ³– as you desired – M^r Starkey ⁴ has promised to give me an answer about granting you a Lease of a strip of Land at Nethermore, next week, He seems to prefer this plan to an exchange – but I will let you know the result as soon as possible –

I am Dear Sir Your Obliged Ser^t
