I well remember that when you was here in April last,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that I shod, I would Lay the Bill before Mr Treasurer, which I could
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
not then Allow to you for want of its having undergone his Inspection.
<
lb

</
lb

I did so, & also acquainted him of your wanting some Timber
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for Repairs, & should have wrote to you relative thereto, but Mr.
<
lb

</
lb

Blake coming to Town soon after, I mentioned the maker to him,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
he told me, it was then too late to think of Falling any Timber
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for the Repairs. I then desired that he would furnish you
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
with some matter of Timber, that you might not be quite
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
destitute, for I am really inclined to think, that you are not
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in so terrible a plight, as you represent, at least, I hope it is
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
not so. I know, that in general, people on too apt to complain,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
when there is little reason for their doing so. However this
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
may be, you tell me that you are still in great want of Timber,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
not withstanding you have had several things from M. Blake,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
as well as from the wheeler. As it is impossible for me to
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
know what you are really in want of, your last letter to me,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
speeching in General only, whereas it is necessary to be
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
informed of particulars. I shall therefore be oblige'd you
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
if you will speak to Mr. Blake about these affairs, & get him
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to send an Account of the several Repairs absolutely necessary
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and of the Timber that will be wanted for that purpose:
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
where this is done, I will, upon your sending it to me, Lay
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
it before the Treasurer, and acquaint you with his resolu

thereupon.
