| Description | [Letter accompanied by a Certificate of the Contract for the Redemption of Land Tax, dated 17 September 1799, and the wrapper or envelope in which both were contained. The letter comments that the Contract has remained at the Register Office since no application has been made for it, and asks James Alston to examine the certificate and confirm whether it is correct, so that the contract itself can be forwarded to him, as ‘it is necessary that all Contracts should be forthwith taken from the Office’.] |
