You are desired to pack up the Watch in a little Box and after that seal it up in paper & direct it to Mr. Walton Senr. at Farnacres to the care of Henry Ellison Esqr. You’ll be pleased to send the inclosed by penny Post to Mr Cooke who will call upon you & you’ll let me know the charge for the Watch at any time when you may have occasion to write me.

      I inclose you two Recets. amounting together to £35. 17. 3 which I shall be obliged by your paying on the inclosed <Bills>.
