       We have reced your Letters of the 28th Ulto & in answer thereto send this to acquaint you that we are much obliged by your care of the Trees.  We have received the Recet for £50-8.  Whenever convenient to you we shall be glad to receive the Account of the Materials.  The directions for the Estimate are right we have not the least doubt of, and we shall be glad to receive also an Estimate for the new one as soon as possible & have wrote to T. Temperley to consult you about giving the proper dimensions to the work which we wd have set down in the Estimate if Watson can draw and can desire him to <see> done at the same time the Estimate comes.  We also want to have an Estimate what the Materials of every kind will cost for carriage & much approve of yours and T Temperleys joint opinion as to the situation of the New House.  The sooner the Winning of Stones Flaggs and Slates is got about the better and perhaps some if not the whole might be Ledd during the Winter when Frost comes.  Poor Dunwoodie we hope will get well again after all but fear from what you have before mentioned there is little chance however we certainly wish him to recover his health.     We are

        Your Humble Servts

               Walton & Turner
