Mr. Chatbourn
Mr. Treasurer has reced a Letter from Mr Sankey
wherein he requests some Timber to be allow'd him for
Repairs of the Barns and for a Lodge which is blown
down as well as for posts, Rails, Pails EtcNow it is
not above two years ago since there was a considerable
quantity of Timber allow'd him for most of the above
Purposesif you case remember the Particular
Repairs that were then done as also the Timber
you assigned for the some and will send me the
Account together with what is now absolutely neces-
sary to be alone (which I hope will not be much)
that I may lay it before the Treasurer who [..] really thinks that Mr Sankey's
demands is none of the most reasonable for it is
impossible that the Premisses can be so much out
of Repair in so short a time as two years, as
Mr Sankey request for Timber would imply

I am for Yr. hble Servt.
