have been called upon by the Auditors of the Accounts
<
lb

</
lb

of this Hospital, as well as by the Treasurer, to know the
<
lb

</
lb

reason of the said Rents being so much in Arrear, but
<
lb

</
lb

as it was next to impossible for me to Satisfy them in,
<
lb

</
lb

this Respect, they Order'd me to write to you

Being well assured of the great regard you

have for this Charity, & that you would gladly do it any Service

when an opportuity should present, upon the presumption

</

of which, it is, that I take this Liberty to request the Favor of

</

you to send word as soon as conveniently may be, how

</

affairs stand at our Tinant's Mr. Pigram's. The occasion of

this inquiry is his Rent is Greatly in Arrear, & Mr. Treasurer
<

</

being determin'd that some method shall be taken for the

Security of it: But previous to this, He thinks it will not be

</

amiss, if some Account could be obtained of the Stock on

the Premises. The Treasurer

honble (he hopes) to you. your will therefore please to give

me what information you can on this head, that it may be

laid before the Grand Commee when they meet, which will
