The favour of Yours of the 27th inst. came to hand on the 30th.

To which I shall answer in a few words. If Gullives has

finished the Work in a good & substantial manner, you are

their at Liberty to settle with him his Account. As to our

Surveyor coming down, it does not seem to be absolutely

necessary besides, it will put us to more expence, and
<

</

be really is of opinion, that Gullives understands his
<
lb

</
lb

Business perfectly well, by what he has already seen
<
lb

</

with respect to the Wood which he hath built. And
<
lb

</
lb

this without the best Direction of any Surveyor, if so,
<

there is much more reason to imagine that he will

Mr. Treasurer will not permit of the Reduction of the Rent

</

in this Manner, it must continue at the old Rent of

£59 as formerly, and M. King must give a Receipt for

</

the 40s Allowed him for Firing, which is the self & same

thing to him, and the old Rent by this means will be preserved

It has a bad appearance at this time a day, to Decrease

there being 3 years Rent due from Gregory amounting to £162.

that the Land tax Pd. by Gregory was £29.8. Quit Rent £14.2

which falls short of the Rent said by him (for it can be by

that Account now stands, for Jerald of Possible finally
