I am sorry you sho[ul]d have sent a Messenger on purpose to know if I had got an Answer from Mr Maughan for I would have wrote you if I had – he has not had time since he could have rec[eiv]ed my Letter to have given me an Answer – indeed I am sorry the time is so short as you mentioned in your former Letter because it seems insufficient for those that never heard of the intended App

The people interested in Wolsingham East Town field w[hi]ch contains about 200 Acres, are desirous of having it divided by Act of Parliament; for it is at present an open field, enjoyed in Ridges, and some of the proprietors have so many detached pieces therein that it is of little value to them.

I do not think you need pay Mr Tower’s fee farm rent to Mr Heron, till he is appointed receiver; for perhaps Mr Tower may employ somebody else. however no harm can arise from your postponing the payment of such a Sum till Mr Heron, or whoever it be, receives an Authority that will justify your payment; and I dare say Mr Heron will not blame you for postponing it till then.
