Sir
<

</
lb

On looking over the Account of the Eltirley Estate,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
I find, the Balance to be as you have made it, that is £1.14.9
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which you will remit the just opportunity. The Landtax
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
& Quit Rent Receipts, your Son left with me you will
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
have Credit for them when the Balance is remitted
<
lb
>
</
lb

I am afraid that Gregory by his sumingly fair pretences,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
has some bad Design to Prosecute, you will therefore
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
look Sharp after him; it is an invarioble Maxim with
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
many people, Etc Suspect most when uncommon Civilities
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
or great prosessions of Service an offer'd them: And
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
indeed, I am of their Opinion He may mean to Act
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
as he says, however, it is best to be upon ones Guard,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
& then, let what will be the Consequence, one is in some
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
degree prepared to receive it. Mr. Treasurer does not
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
disapprove of your Setting the Carpenters to Work upon
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Stood, as it is a Case of Necessity, but desires, that
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
you would not give Orders relative to any other part
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of the Repairs, as one Surveyor, will in a short time be
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
down, for that purpose.
