Sir.

When a Licence was granted by the Governors of this Hospital
<
lb

</
lb

for Mrs Gordon to assign her lease hold Premises at Bully Hill to you
<
lb

</
lb

I desired her Attorney to inform you that she had an Insurance
<
lb

</
lb

on them (in her own Name & mixed well other Property) which expence
<
lb

</
lb

at Xmas next & which it will be Prepar to renew. By a Covenant
<
lb

</
lb

in the Lease you will find that the Policy of Insurance should
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be taken out in the Name of the Treasurer of the Hospital &
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
reported at the Compting House here; it is therefore the Usage
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of the Hospital to make the Insurance for 7 Years at once, & to
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
receive the Account from the Tenant. I wish therefore to inform
<
lb

</
lb

you of this Circumstance to prevent a double insurance being
<
lb

</
lb

made & I have to add that by an old Policy of this Gordons, the

Do you conceive £700 a sufficient Insurance in Case of Accident

the Insurance is insufficient. I will thank you for an Answer

on this Subject that I may be prepared to make the Insurance

at Christmas & you will let me know at the same Time to

when I shall apply for the Money as well as for the Rent.
