Dr Sr

Yo[ur] Lre of the 1st inst. bro[ugh]t me the rem[ainde]r of the rec[eip]ts relating to W. Kenton & I have given the acct. C[redi]t for £499.2.2 the amo[un]t of the paym[en]ts, & made you D[ebto]r for £42.14.9 Sr. Wr's Dividend; wch I think you will find right.

I have sent Sr.Wr. by this post under 2 covers Mr Rudds dra[f]t of the bill to be filed ag[ain]st the Hexham Gardners, as setled by him & Mr Ellis, the 3rd Sheet is much interlined; but to prevent any mistake it is all wrote fair over upon ano[the]r sheet annexed to it; you must correspond with Mr Scott in carrying on this Suit; He knows the thing is in agitation, but has not seen the dra[f]t for I have had no Oportunity of shewing it him since it came to my hand.

I am very Glad Mr Aireys bills are all p[ai]d.

PS. I wrote you th[a]t Mr Ord advised to proceed in the Excheq[e]r, but Mr Rudd says in Chancery will do full as well; so th[a]t must be left to your Option. I paid Mr Rudd for the Draught.  I am etc   JR
