We have recd. your Letter of the 21st. Inst. and exceedingly approve of the last Alteration. It will make every thing much more convenient, and will certainly cost less Money than in the other way that had before been tho[ugh]t of. As to what relates to the Bingsteads, Peat House, Office and Smelters Room, that may be settled any time, but at present we think it will be the best way to alter the Cottage so as to have an Office below, and
