Granted by the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital were forfitted by not Working the same according to custom but the said Commissioners are still willing to revue the said Grants one your or my Lord’s new Proposals, but as the Commissioners of the Greenwich Hospital cannot specify in their Leaces my Lord Carlisle & your P’ticualr shairs it would be right to settle with my Lord whither the Proposals must be made out in the Names of my Ld.
