Mr Flower
Sr
Mr Treasurer is greatly surprized
that you have not thought fit to let him hear from
you long before now; and that after the many repeat:
:ed Letters you have had, and the large Arrear you
know is due; That you can think the Hospital will
any longer permit you to continue in the Farm and
run further in their Debt;You know like:
:wise that yor. great Delays have occasioned diverse
Expences to the Hospitall as well in Journeys as other:
:wise, all which will fall on yor. self; In short you
have no other way to prevent immediate Ruin falling
on yor. self and Family but by yor. forthwith making
a large Paymt.
