On Wednesday the 20th inst. was the publick Audit of the<lb></lb>
Accounts of this Hospital, when not only the State of your Debt,<lb></lb>
but that of every other Tenant, was particularly examin'd &<lb></lb>
inquired into. The Gentn. concern'd herein was greatly<lb></lb>
as to<obscured></obscured>
at the largeness of your Arrear of Rent. They<lb></lb>
were not only highly displeased with You but me also in suffering<lb></lb>
you to go on in this manner. They are absolutely determin'd<lb></lb>
to put a Stop to such proceedure. They cant consistent with<lb></lb>
the Trust<gap reason="illegible"></gap>
and Confidence placed in them do<lb></lb>
otherwise. Yet at the same time that they pay this<lb></lb>
regard to the Trust reposed in them they are not neg-<lb></lb>
<gap reason="illegible"></gap>
lectful of the benefit of their Tenants & should be <lb></lb>
truly concerned if through any necessary expidient made<lb></lb>
use of for the Interest of this Hospital they should<gap reason="illegible"></gap>
<lb></lb>
unavoidably prejudice that of any of their Tenants. It<lb></lb>
is in obedience to their Order that I trouble You with this<lb></lb>
to press you to the payment of a considerable part of the<lb></lb>
Arrears of Rent which amounted at Michs last to £216.5<lb></lb>
a most<obscured></obscured>
Sum indeed too much for any one Tenant<lb></lb>
to be in arrear of Rent. Mr. Treasurer who interests himself<lb></lb>
in your Favour thinks you can't well sent Less than £100.<lb></lb>
I beg you will seriously think about it, which if you do<lb></lb>
you cannot but confess it to be a most reasonable request, a<lb></lb>
will, in consequence thereof immediatley send the money,<lb></lb>
or appoint some time within a Month when it may be<lb></lb>
depended on to receive it.</p>
