Sir
I wrote the other day to the Rev. Mr. Collyer, advising
of the Allowance that the Grand Commee was pleased
to Grant to you [..] & Mr Battyt towards Building
to brick Stable & putting the premisses into Substantial
Repair Whether you have heard from that Gentleman
I know not, but non inclin'd to think, that you have,
as the whole of the Correspondence on this Occasion has
been carried on by Him, I looked upon it, as a thing of
Course, that He had informed you of itit was not
only to inform Him of the Order of the Commee with respect
to the Money allowed you, but of the remainder of the
Fine that is due, and desiing Him to press you to the
remitting a considerable part of it. I am sorry to tell
you that the Treasurer did expect to hear, from one or both
of you, & indeed He is some what displeased that He has
not, Notwithstanding all this, He has Order'd one to Write
for 25 or 30 [..] of year Pale Malt provided you will
deliver it at a Market price, which was then 24/6 Pqur
& six 6 Pqur cheaper than for what you offer'd it to Sale
