To Mr Chris. Denton in Grays Inn London

28 Dec 1755

Dr Sir

Inclosed is a Bill for two hundred pounds as above, which I desire you will place to my Credit & advise your Receipt thereof.

I would not have you return Mr Aireys two bills, for he assured me yesterday if Hyde & Lawson & Co. did not pay them when due, which he was confident they would do, they should be paid imediately by another hand, you are the best Judge whether its necessary to protest them, if they are not punctually paid, therefore pray do what is right & be so kind as take the same Care of the bill in Sr Walters hand, & let me know what is done by the Return of the Post. If these bills are paid, the inclosd will enable you to pay Lady Mansels £225 due the 10th Oct & also £100 to Lady Blackett which I presume I must draw on you as usual when her Ladyship moves Southward. Last Post I received six vouchers for payment of part of the ballance of West Kenton account, when you send the Rest, pray send the Masters Report apportioning the Payment  I desire you will also send me an acct how matters stand with Messrs Lascelles when the same is settled, I wish you many happy years  & am etc   JR
