To Sir Wr Blackett Bt at his house in 	Brook Street, Grosvenor Square.

      12 Oct 1759

Honrd Sir,

I have received a letter to day from Mr John Fenwick giving notice that he expects his 2000£ being paid in the 12th May next, having a good mortgage ready for it at 4.7 per cent, I very much wish he was paid off but I do not know yet how to raise the money, he deserves an answer whether he may depend upon it at the time.      The Corporation &c have agreed to give £100 of their subscription to the Masons Society and extend the Bounty to all volunteers that shall enter in this place which it is hoped will have your approbation I hope this will find you very well after your journey     I am &c JR
