To Mr Wm. Radley



Sir

	We reced. your favour of the 5 Inst. and are glad the 25 Leases are now on the Road to us. we are preparing more which will be sent you in a post or two.

	We Observe what you say about Numbring or Marking the Wood, & will persue your directions, only in this we are in doubt when you say we may cause the Numberers to Value at the same time which if we doe there Cannot so many be Imployed, nay none but those fitt to Value and by a Computation sent the Board the New Valuing will amount to about £80  Exclusive of Numbering. now pray Informe us by Return of the Post what we are to doe therein. We indeed think the new Valuing will ans.r to purpose but Increase the Expence, but if you order it shall pursue your directions. In the Boards Minutes of the 24 May they order the trees to be Numbered but say nothing of New Valuing . 

      We are  Sir Yr Hble Serts.

      Nich. Walton Hugh Boag
