Sir            Inclosed herewith is my bill on Plumb & Browne for Three hundred & fifteen pounds payable at 20 days from this date; wch. I send you on Acct. of the quarterly payments you have to make for Sir Wr. Blackett between 31 March last & 30 June next & desire you will send me a receipt for the same to be a Voucher to my Acct. with him & that you will express it in the usual form.

     This morning I received the Lease & Release of the freehold part of Woodcroft Estate & the Surrender of the Copyhold part executed by Sir Walter and have given notice to Mr. Wards Attorney: & hope there will be no delay in the payment of the Money.

      If Sir Walter is set out today for Dover, as some Letters from London by this post say he would do, here is very bad weather & an unfavourable Wind for him; but he wrote me he would not set out till Monday.    I am etc    HR
