Sir
The above is the Resolution of the Grand Committee
respecting thier of the Pieces of land as Parndon, which you have
recommended them to purchase, & annex 1. the Hospital Estate
there. The late worthy Treasurer was accustomed to such to your
himself on the Hospital Affairs, & when the Present one gets
settled in her House here, I trust he will take up the Correspon-
dence; for being but a Novece with Hospital Concerns I am
afraid of writing mistakenly, or at least not very intellgebly
upon them, for which Reason, where I can do it, I think it will
be always the best to give you the Minute of the Committee itself.

from Chirhard respecting him, & I have to observe that the Treasurer
thinks you will do well to Press been hard for the Payment of [..] his
Arrears.

Account of Rents Etc Yearly before Xmas. As the Tenants now are
to pay their Lady day rents at or before Michmas, & as those rents
are all that can come out. the Years Receipts, I am willing to
presoner that you events make up & send your Acct: in November early
in decrmr. This, as far as regards the Keepg of the Hospital Accounts
strikes me as vastly preferable to the Account being rendered of any
other Time or after Xmas is Passed, tho immediately following
it: for as the Hospital Accounts are made up yearly as Xmas
& audited some Months afterward, though you may have made
your Presensed Remittances before Xmas, yet if your Account
does not come up till after, the Tenants cannot respectively have
credit for their Payments, & thus they appear to the Auditors as so
much in Arrear, became the Money reced from them stand at
the fred it of your personal Account, for want if knowing sen to
discremenable & apply it. It some times happens too, that there are

saved lately. Now as all the Tenants if the Hospital are charged
