Dr Sir

I have received advice to Day that Gab[rie]l D. Vebre, on whom I sent you Mr Thos. Aireys two bills for £300 each in my Lre of the 12th inst has stop'd Payment. Mr Airey assures me if the Bills be sent to Messrs Hyde, Lawson & Co. Merchants in Cornhill they will be paid when due, but if it should happen otherwise, pray return them protested for non Payment, & sell my So.S  Annuities as you can for you will want the Money to pay my West Kenton Ballance.  I sent Sir Walter sometime agoe a bill of the above Tenure for £357.13.7, & have wrote him this Post that D.Vebre has stoped Payment & desired him to send it when due to Messrs Hyde, Lawson & Co. as above & if it is not punctually paid, I desire you'l be so good as let it have a regular protest & be returnd with the others. I look upon Mr Airey to be very sufficient for the money.    I am etc   JR
