      I Recd. yr Lettr and I leave the brass work of the harness to yr Selfe, not doubting but you’ll make them of the newest fashion, and am of yr opinion that the Coat of Arms and Crest will look much better that the Cypher, So Inclos’d I send you them.  I would have the Topps for the horses Scarlett, & very full, and as for the fashion of the bitts, for the bridles I leave them wholy to yr discretion, you may Send down a postillion Coat and Cape  with the Harness, I hope for yr own Credit you’ll make the harness & brass work as fashionable as any is Wore, & as Reasonable,   I may come to be a good Customer to you for I always keep both a Coach and Charriot, Acqt me with the Rect. of this Lettr as soon as it comes to yr hand by a line to yr Assr’d friend 



Mr Robinson   Coachmaker  etc
