Sir

As it is a long time since I made an application relating to what
is due to me from the County of Middlesex for Surveying and directing
the several County works I was employed in and I have heard nothing sine
in Consequence thereof: I take the Liberty of Transmitting to you an acco [..]
of what Money was laid out in the several works done under my direct
as a Surveyor which I intreat the favor of You to lay before the Juctices

If I have made any mistake in the above Account I beg it may be corrected
by your books but I believe I am considerably under the Sum in the q [..]
Article the others I know are Exact-I was employed some time before the
Year 1750 but I only take it up from that time-the several Works done
under my inspection amounts Amountsto upwards of £4000 The
Customary Allowance to a Surveyor is £5 P Cont. on the Money laid
out, this makes what is due to me upwards of £200, the whole of which
has been owing to me ever since the Year 1767 tho' all the Tradesmen
I apprehend have been paid several Years ago, When you have done
me the favour to lay this Account before the Justices I hope they will,
as soon as convenient please to let me know their resolution upon the
mat [..] n

I am Sir
