Dear Sir

      As our Account ending the 30 June 1757 has been more that the usuall time before the Aud[ito]r; we give you this trouble desiring you will be so obliging as forward it with your usual Friendly Offices; which is the more necessary as another Account will be very soon ready to the 30 June next.  If there are any Querys, the sooner you send them the better, as we would be very glad to have the Account dispatched as soon as convenient.  We cannot get you a Horse to our liking, which really gives us concern, & wish you cou’d do it your self & let us know when you have done so.  Mr Walton has now a good Colt of his own Breeding, fifteen hands high four years old & promising in all respects; but it is feared he is putting a Spavin.  Our Compliments & good wishes attend you and yours     & we are 

      Dear Sir   yours etc

      N Walton     H. Boag
