To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield

25 March 1757

Sir

Y[ou]r Lre of the 21st I am satisfied will not do with regard to y[ou]r incident charges of £12.16.0. For when I am asked w[ha]t they are for, what can I say? they are so much higher than any other Stewards who have far more business to go about, th[a]t I am certain they will be struck off your acct. unless you send me a particular how they arise. Mr Peart & Mr C.Hunter do not charge half w[ha]t you do, & they always mention the Occasion of their expences. Y[ou]r charge of £6 for expences in the y[ea]r 1755 was thought very extravagant, & I was ordered to allow no such articles without knowing what they are for. I desire you answer in two or three posts, for Sr.Wr. will be at home shortlyt; when all his stew[ar]ds accts. are to be laid before him, With my complim[ent]s to Mrs Hunter & family I am etc.
