Y[ou]r father wo[ul]d inform you w[ha]t passd when here & I doubt not but he will assist you w[i]th the money you want, as he half promised me he wo[ul]d; for tho I wo[ul]d very willingly serve you in anything in my power, I cannot consistent with my duty to S[i]r W[alte]r  leave above £30 in y[ou]r hands, at the pay: for he expects th[a]t all his Stew[ar]ds accts. shall be nearly ballanced at that time.

PS You must take care to send in before the pay a P[ar]ticular of the £48 odd, said to be in arr[ea]rs f[ro]m the workmen for Corn etc.

I am etc   JR
