Journal entry – John Jobling to John Grey – 29 Jan 1835

?Sir

       I beg to state to you that on receiving the valuation upon which my offer for the Greenwich Hospital Farm situated in this Township <misfounded> I have discovered two or three Clerical errors in it which have had the effect of raising my valuation to the amount of £1.5.0. I annex a Copy of the Items in which the errors occur and should be ready to show you the original document containing such errors. 

       I have to submit to you that in consequence of my valuation having been founded upon such errors, you will be so good as to hand to the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital my proposition that I be allowed to reduce the annual Rent offered for their Farm here in the amount stated above <of> 21..5.. which leaves the Rent £353..15 p Annum or if they cannot consent to this arrangement, that they permit me to annul the agreement entered into on 12th April.

       I remain Yours Truly

                         J. C. Jobling
