Dear Sir
This Account should be settled, or we shall get into disgrace. Will you be so good to write to Mr. Weston, & give me your opinion what is proper for me to say in Reply to Mr. Evatt.
I should be sorry for the Credit of the Town, that we sh[oul]d act unhandsomely. Shall hope to see you at the Stork tomorrow. It is the Annual Meeting of the Guardians of the Standard of Wrot. Plate.
The High Bailiff with Mr. Villers Concurrence has fixed the Towns Meeting for Friday—Thursday & Tuesday being public Office days. I rem[ai]n. Dear Sir with high Esteem
Your obliged & obedt. Servt

Letter. William Evatt (Westminster) to George Simcox (Birmingham). 28 June 1799.
(Franked at London in the name of Pitt, 28 Jun. 1799.)
Sir,
I was in hopes to be favored with your calling upon me as you promised, but understanding you have left this Town—I trouble you with this to request a Settlement of the business as the Office accounts are to be settled next Week, I think you seem to misconceive the business, the £60. 6. 8 is for the Fees due to the Office & the £15. 1. 6 charged for the Expences of Expediting the Copies, is the Money paid by me out of my own pocket & which you & the other Gentlemen promised I should be repaid. As to anything for my extra trouble on this long business—it is a matter intirely optional and I shall submit it intirely to the Gentlemen concerned.
I am Sir Your most Obedt Servt
