Inclosed you receive back my Kenton acct. with my Affid[avi]t thereon for wch I paid Mr Widdrington 2s & desire you will charge the same in your bill. I am much obliged to you for getting the £10 allowd for Beaumonts money, for two fine hares sent me by Mr Hutchinson & for the Nonpareils, wch are not yet arrived. You may be assured of having a remittance for the ballance of the W[es]t Kenton accts pay[a]ble 28 inst., but as to the Corporation's £2000 I have no Money to remit, tho Mr Lascelles wants 1/2 y[ea]rs int[re]st due 26 Aug last, wch I see no probability of being able to return before the other  1/2 y[ea]r will become due. As to Lady Mansels £225 due 10 Oct I will endeavour to return you that money in a little time.   I am etc   JR
