I have also received of him this day for your use thirty five pounds eighteen shillings for which I gave him a receipt accordingly and for both these sums I have given you credit in your acco[un]t with me. On the other hand I have as you desired made you Deb[to]r for ten pounds for my half years dividend in the 4 p[er] quarter 1762 due 5 Jan[ua]ry last, for which I am obliged to you, and inclosed herewith you receive Bell Cookson & Cos bill on Vere & co for one hundred and seventy seven pounds sixteen shillings and two pence being the balance of this transaction & also of the acco[un]t between us to this day and I desire you will advise me of the receipt of this Bill accordingly.
