	I have rec[eiv]ed the 10000 quicks & put them into the Gro[un]d till they shall be wanted they look well & I hope will prove so. 10000 more will be as many as I beleive we shall have occasion for this season besides what is bought here. I have a copy of the Article & will take care the money is expended according to yo[u]r intention. No more need be remitted till I acquaint you it is wanted.

	My acct of the last Mart[inma]s rents has been postpon'd sending up hitherto at the desire of the parties in expectation of getting all the arrears of the wayleave rent of Mr Beaumont, wch are not yet paid but the acct. will be forwarded in a few posts & the money will be proportioned & p[ai]d before Xmas. So I desire  you will send a proper authority to somebody in London, to receive yo[u]r share of the land rent for I do not know certainly how to settle it. I herewth send you a copy of the acct. as far as I can carry it till I receive Mr Beaumonts final answer wch I am dayly expecting.   I am etc    JR
