Bretton Jany. 10th 93 Dear Sir In a letter from Mr. Widdrington he says, “We have fully considered the Business and finding that to continue it in the way it has been carried on of late would on the whole be very disadvantageous to us we have come to the final determination to decline it for the future.” As I do not know what sums of money have been lodged in their Hands from time to time, nor how long it has been continued, nor what they mean by referring to the manner the Business has been carried on in of late, it is impossible for me to judge of the Matter, and all I desire is that the Business might be transacted upon such a footing as to make it beneficial to the Bankers & in some degree to myself in case there should be any considerable Sums in hand for which purpose I conceive the Mode for Keeping the Account (as by the Copy herewith) would answer. And if the Bank are at any extra Expense in getting the Cash for the annual Pays that ought to be included. As the gentlemen of that Bank have done the Business so long, I wish them to have the preference. You will please to have a conference together and explain to me the matter fully - I am Dear Sir Your most obd. Hum, Servt. Tho Rd Beaumont – P.S. Please to send me a Copy of the Account with the Bank for the last 2 or 3 years back -
