This comes by Order of the Grand Committee of this Hospitall to
<
lb
>
</
lb

Acquaint you, That upon their view of the Houses & Buildings
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in Kent Street lately in Lease to you, They found the Same
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
exceedingly out of Repaire, and Some part in a ruinous
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Condicon, the pavement in the Street very defective, and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Tenants under presentments for not mending it, And
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
what is very Strange, The Pump which should Supply the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Tenants with Water, has been Suffered to be wholly useless
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for Some considerable time, only for want of laying out a
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
little money upon it. Friday last some of the Governors
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
were there again, And sent to the Tenants for the Quarters
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Rent due to the Hospitall at Lady day: They all in Generall
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
made Great complaints, that they could not lye dry in their
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Beds, when it Raines, and that their Houses were not
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Tenantable

The Governors did not expect you would have
<
lb

</
lb
>
permitted their Houses to be in Such a Condicon Sr. at the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
end of your Lease, But since it is so, They as Trustees
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for the Poor look upon themselves obliged to Require
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
from you full Satisfaccon for it.

In order to Settle this Satisfaccon, upon Notice to
<
lb

</
lb

me, you will be mett by some of the Governors to try
<
lb
>
</
lb

if it may be done without a Law Suite. If this method
<
lb

</
lb

be neglected I am Ordered by the Committee to make out

Processe against you;
