Sir

The above is the Resolution of the Grand Committee
<

</

respecting thier of the Pieces of land as Parndon, which you have
<
lb

</
lb

recommended them to purchase, & annex 1. the Hospital Estate
<
lb

</
lb

there. The late worthy Treasurer was accustomed to such to your
<
lb
>
</
lb

himself on the Hospital Affairs, & when the Present one gets
<
lb
>
</
lb

settled in her House here, I trust he will take up the Correspon-
<
lb

</
lb

dence; for being but a Novece with Hospital Concerns I am
<
lb

</
lb

afraid of writing mistakenly, or at least not very intellgebly
<
lb
>
</
lb

upon them, for which Reason, where I can do it, I think it will
<
lb
>
</
lb

be always the best to give you the Minute of the Committee itself.

from Chirhard respecting him, & I have to observe that the Treasurer

Let me take this Opportunity of Proposing to your Conside-

-ration whether it will not be practicible always to under your

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

& audited some Months afterward, though you may have made
