Letter – Nicholas Walton to John Holmes – 25 Oct 1780

Mr Jno Holmes.                          					Farnacres 25th Octor 1780



Sir

       We have reced yours of the 21st  and have this day drawn upon you for £219:8:5 being the Amount of 755 Ounces of Fine Silver at 5s/9 3/4d P Ounce.  We were from Home when the above Silver was sent which prevented our giving you advice of it.

       We inclose you a Letter from Mr Probert who we have desired to call upon you immediately for his Money and indeed we are sorry  he has not already done so as it has occasioned our being obliged to take it out of your Cash Acct in which we had entered it as a payment upon the clear supposition of his being ready to wait upon you for the Money.

       We are Sir Yours etc 

       W & T
