Mr. Chatborn
Mr Treasurer has ordered me to write in
Answer to Yrs. of the 11th. inst. That he does not apprehend for
what use Mr. Sankey can want more Pollards, some Yo. have
mark'd 5, besides ten Oaks, which Yo. say are sufficient for the
necessary Repairs on Mr. Sankey Farmerbut if he wants
them for Fireing, he is to be told that Mr Treasurer will never
allow any Pollards to be falled for that use, which hear
any Tops fit for lopping, & which are not quite decay'd
& unfit for any better purposeI am likewise to acqnt.
yo. that Mr. Treasurer approves of Yr. Proposal of raising
some Quick sett & desires Yo. will take Care that it
be done
