Mr Clarke.

I was to waite on you yesterday, being very much concern'd that you should make that
Disturbance about the Vagrts that are brought to you from Mr. Godfrey; Seeing you have had no less
than 3. Justices of Middx that have given you their Words to see you pd. the Charges you are at.
You have sevall Opportunities of Easing yorself by the Comon Carriers & Carts & Wagons that every
day pass through yor Town both this Road & Hatfield Road, who will take them in for a Small matter.
I will allow you 12d. towards yor. Charges for every such Carriage that shall bring them hither; and
will speak to the Constable of Northmimes to doe the like, for such as you shall so convey through
his Constable wick to Hatfield; & when you can't light of such a Convenience, if you will convey those
that come hither to Isaac Doggetts< no role > of Sherdley hill , I will allow you 12d. an horse & 2s. a Cart for such as
cannot walk or come otherwise. And if you will take them quietly, & ease Barnett Constables of the
Relief that they now give, I myself will reimburse you as I how doe them; so that you exceed not
the Rates in the inclosed Order of Sessions, till such time as the Justices meet to settle the same, who
am

Yor. humble Servt.
