Sir
Dr Small was here to day and desired me to acquaint or remind you that either Bingley or Fountaine wou'd do for evidence that you manufacture plate at Soho, this he mentiond because he said you talkd of sending for some body on purpose for evidence. The 2 spoons sent herewith weigh 1oz 7dwt 12grs which Mr Fothergill said cost 7/6 peice if so they come to 10/11 per ounce and we only chargd the Light silver Lyon Candt. & Branches to Sir R M Keith @ 9/ per oz i e 5/9 silver & 3/3 fashion.
Mr Z W wanted £150 to take up some Bill that was due therefore have only sent Mr M £300 Mr Tyson says Webster thinks he can let you have some more before the three weeks end. our dirty dog Hunter is run away. Lakelin is also gone to London. Thos Hands has a Son that was with Ashford he can file and turn pretty well, what do you think of putting him to the Clock maker he is of a Good breed and in the Country? & I think J Bingley might go to Far if he will take him. J Harrions goes on very well with the stud machine.
I am Sir your Obedt Servt
