| Description | "Thanks for my having had the intention of employing him, if necessary, in the Tew accounts."
Lawrence Street Birmingham July 30. 1817
Having been informed last night on application to M’r Walker and M’r Brown that your proposed intention of favoring me with your commands has been superseded by a subsequent arrangement, and presuming that my correspondence with M’r Walker would fully evince my strong desire to render acceptable to you the suggested partial renewal of my services; any present assurance of the respectful tenor of my feelings on occasion of an overture so flattering and obliging, as I considered that with which I was honored a few days after you last departure for Tew, would be, I conceive, wholly superfluous,—and I should lack a motive for the liberty of now addressing you if it were not for the unwillingness I entertain that the affair should dissipate without some indication of the gratitude which prompts me to offer you, in all sincerity, my thanks for your goodness in bestowing a thought on one who has so little meritorious pretension to your kind consideration;—and I should have taken the greater liberty of paying my respects and thanks to you personally if unrestrained by the apprehension that such freedom might be considered presumtuously intrusive
I remain,
Respected Sir,
your much obliged,
and most obedient
humble Servant
Wm Cheshire.
M Robinson Boulton Esqr
Soho.
