Mr: Knock
Mr: Treasurer has seen yor. Letter of the 11th: inst: & has ordered
me to acquaint you that if the 8 or 10 Breches you mention one decaying He would
have you sell them to the best advantage. Mr Treasurer would likewise have
given Orders for paying you for yor. trouble, but as you charge for 4 Journeys,
& there appear by as Book of Orders but 3, He desires to know yor. demand
upon the Hospital, & will direct the payment of it forthwith.
At Chilham near Canterbury.

Mr: Knock
In Mr: Treasurer's absence yor. Letter of the 20th inst: came to
my hands, in which I find you have sold the ten Breches to Mr: Swaine for
five shillings a Tree, whereas you wrote in yor. former Letter that you thought
they might he worth 3 or 4 Pounds: however since you say they were scrabbed & fit
only for the Fire & that you have sold them for their full value, I doubt not of
Mr. Treasurer's approbation of what you have done, who before He went out of
Town gave me orders to write to Mr. Swaine to pay you which I desire he will do,
I let me hear from him about his Rent very soon, because the Accounts are to be
examined the beginning of next Month.
