The note I inclose to you is for money lent by poor Graves, while he lived with me, to a pot-companion of his. we look'd upon it long as a desperate debt, but of late have learn'd, that the Man is set up in a way of business, & very capable of paying it. the reason I trouble you with it is this. your Cousin T: Hide has several times mention'd it to my Servant Stephen, & was so obliging to offer his assistance in getting the money. if he will really give himself that trouble, it will be a deed of charity, & I should be very glad of his success. you will take care of the note, wch is already torn & tatter'd with age: if any little expence is incur'd, Graves will gladly satisfy it out of the money, & be very thankful.

My shirts begin exceedingly to want company, wch (I hope) they may shortly expect, & I as much want to get into the North. when you send them, you will please to add a bill of my debts to you, & insert the expence you were at for what you bought the morning I set out for Hadham: and I will send the money, & thank you. I know not, whether Dolly will want any farther intelligence from me, before I go. if she does, let her tell me soon. she has already an account of the rents of Hand-Alley; a state of the case with regard to the Conveyance, wch Worlidge ought to have got ready & sign'd; & the Extract from Mrs Rogers's Will. I would wish to send her an account of the Taxes, but have it not perfect myself. in the mean time I send her, what appears from the last account (turn over). you will give my service to your Mamma, & love to Dolly.
