To Lady Blackett in Curzon Street London

31 March 1755

Hon.Madam

I will take care to get the drawing Room done agreeable to your Ladyships directions with all Expedition, the paper th[a]t will be sufficient to hang it is as below. The panelling must be taken down the surbase, for the paper cannot be put upon it. I have examined the boxes that came out of Yorkshire, but cannot find the red & white cotton y[ou]r Ladyship mentions. The Pew in  St And[re]ws Church is new Lined & the Curtains  are the lightest blew we co[ul]d get, the Uphold[ster]er says the pew will look best to be painted a Mahogony Colour, but if you prefer any other Colour I desire you will be pleased to let me know. I am Yr Ladyships Mo[st] faithfull h[um]ble Servt.
