Sir
Just after I had wrote a Letter in answer to yours
of the 11 inst. the Postman brought another to one of 18 inst
wherein you desire that if yours of the 11 [..] inst. with a Bill
on M. James Blake< no role > for £60.1.4 the Rent & Acquittance due
at Michas last, had not as yet come to hand, I would Stop
payment when it did, that is, you would not have me present
the Bill for Acceptance. This is all I thank you can mean, or
intend I should understand , Now that Letter arriving in
due course, the Bill was tendered the very next day, & was Ac-
cepted accordingly, and when due (which is not till Thursday
next) is made payable at Sr. Jos Haukey< no role > 's & Co. Fine [..] Street.
I shall write by this Post to M. Chatbourn, relative to your
Felling part of Hurst Wood, and also of your wanting a little
Timber for Repairs, which I do suppose he will assign to
you in due time.

I am Etc RL

Sr.
An Monday last I reced a Letter from M Sankey wherein
he acquaints me that he shall Fall an Acre & half of Hunt wood
this Year. It also requests a little Timber for Repairs such as
posts & Rails a All and Door. case for the Stable and also
some more Laths for the Waggon Lodge he having already
had three Bundles from M. Mount. You will therefore
see that when he Cutts the said Wood that the Timber Trees
are preserved & that he is govern'd by the Covenants on his
Lease respecting his cutting the Woods. As to the Repairs
you will please to Allow him rough Timber necessary for
them or as you shall think convenient
