Mr: Knock

In Mr: Treasurer's absence yor. Letter of the 20th inst: came to
<
lb

</
lb

my hands, in which I find you have sold the ten Breches to Mr: Swaine for
<
lb

</
lb

five shillings a Tree, whereas you wrote in yor. former Letter that you thought
<
lb
>
</
lb

they might he worth 3 or 4 Pounds: however since you say they were scrabbed & fit
<
lb

</
lb

only for the Fire & that you have sold them for their full value, I doubt not of
<
lb

</
lb

Mr. Treasurer's approbation of what you have done, who before He went out of
<
lb

</
lb

Town gave me orders to write to Mr. Swaine to pay you which I desire he will do,
<
lb

</
lb

I let me hear from him about his Rent very soon, because the Accounts are to be
