Mr. Chatbourn
I must trouble You once more to desire the favour
of you to send me Word what the Labour or Workmenship
of making a Gate, Style Etc. will amount to for by that
means one shall be able to determine whither at would
not be Cheaper for the Hospital to Buy the Gates Etc ready
made than to Cut Timber down for that purpose, by the
frequent applications for Repairs one would imagine
that the Timber growing upon the Hospital Estate there
was design'd for no other purpose, for an examining
the Hospital Books at appears that these has been
Reced no more than £15.18 for Timber within
these last 20 yearsa triffling Sum indeed
