To Mr Chr.Denton Grays Inn London 28 Feb 1755 Dr Sir I have put on board the Generous Friends Jacob Remington Mas[ter] a Kit of Salmon directed to Wm.Powlet Esq. in <Beutton> Street by Berkley Square done by the same hand as what Mrs Hymers sent Mr Wynne, wch I hope will prove very good, it is the best Salmon our market will afford & comes to 13s10d wch I have placed to your acct. as I have £5.5.0 for your bill on one to Mr Robt.Fenwick. I wish some of Mr Childs people wo[ul]d call for my last half years dividend, for I may perhaps order the Stock to be sold before another half year becomes due; whatever charges attend it I desire you will place to my acct. Some of our Hopper Folks are still very pert & give hints as if there is still something in <pette> to be offered against the Corporation, wch is little thought of; but I look upon this as the last Snuff of a Candle & hope to see in a few posts a Report f[ro]m the Comittee in favour of the town; but however that may be the town ought always gratefully to remember the great trouble & pains Sr Walter & Mr Ridley have taken in the Affair & I hope they will gratify you well for the share you have had therein. I desire to know how Mr Wilson goes on with his purchase; & if there is an Order made in Mr Beaumont's Case. I have sent a kit of salmon in the ship before mentioned directed for you, wch I desire you will accept of from Dr Sr Yr etc JR
