I have writ to your brother Kitte this day to pay you £1 7s6d for what you are in Disburse for Buckles &c the letter case you sent me was not such a one as I told you of I would have had a letter case that was made in Turkey with Turkish letter Imbroydered upon it they are Extraordinary dear & very hard to be not withal however tis all one shall make this serve
