Mr Robinson,
I perceive by yr letter of the 29th that you have sent down the Harness to Mr Speight, & that the Carriage cost you 20s. You should have directed them onely for Mr Speight & let him have paid them & not name my name & then he would have paid no more than ten shillings of great heavy harness for himselfe. I have not yet seen them tho’ I doubt not but they will please me provided the price be Easy and then you may expect much more of my money

This year is so farr spent that he cannot sow much & the low part of the moor is so wett that he design to let it for pasture for tis fit for nothing Else. I think I have made you a very good bargain for £7 10s in hand is better than nothing & if was my own case I should desire no better advantage

Sr Thomas,
Inclosed is a Lettr to Mr Morris, which I desire you’ll p’ruse, Seal & inclose it by yr Servt.

Honest Will,
I perceive by yrs of the 3d that you have sold 160 Trees to Fenwick & his partners at <11s> pr tree. If the wood be anything they must be very cheap for I should judge the Bark worth at least one halfe of the money. However you say he was the best Chapman. I perceive he is to pay halfe of the Money at Xtmas & the remaining part within a year after. The first payment is well enough but I think tis an unreasonable to give him so long a time for the second
