I have receivd your Lre of the 27th past, & desire you will acquaint Mrs Armstrong that my Orders are to send for a writt against her, if she does not imediately pay you the £18.14.7 she returned in  arrears for Corn, if she pay this money I do not apprehend Sir Walter will give her any further Trouble. Pray let me have her Answer in 10 or 14 days, if you can conveniently. Wee are in expectation that there will very speedily be a stop put to the Exportation of Corn, which will lower the prices connsiderably & Rye is now here at 9s a boll, but I could not meet with Mr Harbottle today to ask him what he charges for the last corn you sent for, I wish you success with yo[u]r new level & am etc    JR
