to be put into Staines Lease to preserve Timber and
Pollards and to distinguish if it be necessary, what

at the end of the Lease with Such Fallowes and
every thing else Necessary that it may not be
worsted to any future Tenant One of your
old Leases perhaps may be usefull to us
I Wish you and Yours a good Christmas and am
