Sir    

I have before me your Favour of the 30th ult[im]o for which I thank you, & am surprised at the difference between us, arising by my Bill for £40 in favour of Mr Lawson not being yet paid I drew on you for £110 the 12th Sept[embe]r last in three bills as advised you in my Lre  of that date (vizt.)

      £        

For  40 payable to Mr Lawson or order 35 days after date

For  40            D[itt]o            30 

For  30            D[itt]o            30

   £110



& desire the Favour of a Line by the Return of the Post whether the two last menc[i]oned bills are paid, & whether the first bill has never been prececnted [presented], for I had money for it, & it has never been returned to me, I am with due Respects to the Co[mpany] Sir Y[ou]rs etc

                                                                                                                                   J.R.
