Writer thinks that Sam[uel] Jenkins may not procure the writings as 'his' brother appears so roguish; as writer may be obliged to lay down £20.0.0 and interest in case they will not produce the writings by fair means, he desires recipient to bring the £10.0.0. and the resignment; 'he' told the bearer that 'he' had writer's father's lease and resignment, and that he would make writer pay the £10.0.0. again.

Enclosed was a copy of the reg[istra]r's certificate of the costs taxed in Jenkins and wife v. recipient and others; if recipient does not send writer £82.0.0, he will write for the writ of execution; he is also writing to Mr Allen to the same purport.

Writer's father let Mr Wynter have the £200.0.0 to pay some of his father's debts; Mrs Bromfield is willing to take up the money lent by her late husband to whom she is executrix; writer had rather the money was borrowed in the country; Mr Tho[ma]s Prosser is to pay £40.0.0 instead of £32.0.0 a year for the farm; he is to have the mill at the old rent when S[i]r T. Meredith's lease is expired; writer had a letter from a gentleman at Bristol in order to compromise Miss Vaughan's affair.

Writer's brother James corresponds with Mr Devereux's maid by letter very frequently; recipient is requested to tell him the ill consequences of such a correspondence; writer's sister has not executed anything in 'his' behalf and James must expect no more than what the marriage settlement of writer's parents will give him, which is about £200.0.0.; Prosser's wife, the bread woman, is their messenger; recipient's authority as his master may have great weight with him. P.S. James was with the girl one night till 1a.m.

Writer has delivered the writings to the carrier; recipient will probably lose no time in making Mr Powell a remittance.

Recipient has just returned from Yorkshire and may give his vote and interest tomorrow at New Radnor for an independent man, Mr Wilkins, against Mr Johnes, who has constantly voted with the administration, particularly on 6 April; Mr Johnes says in his address that he will adopt the line pursued by his father.

Sam[ue]l Jenkins is taking care of recipient's horses, cattle, etc.; the Rev[eren]d Mr Fran[ci]s Lloyd was buried this day; ?Mr Lloyd of Llandevalley is at Trebarried and likely to die; Sarah Ralph, a daughter of Will[iam] Ralph, cobbler, has sworn a big belly to Mr Cha[rle]s Morgan, Lion; writer and his wife join in compliments. P.S. Rog[e]r Williams, Genffordd, is feeding a pig for recipient.

Mr Hutton engaged writer to cut a large fall of timber on his estate; the work of getting it to the water side and to Chatham has continued to this time; writer will be tempted to visit recipient next November, but hopes that recipient will favour 'us' with his company long before that time; he wishes to know if recipient has been into Yorkshire this summer, and was very sorry to hear that he had lost poor Joseph Wright; Wilson, who was some time since curate of Waldron and lately curate of Wadhurst, was involved in a trial about the legality of his settlement, and is kept by the parish of Waldron in the workhouse; the harvest was good, but hops and fruit were a very slight crop; writer's wife has had no children since recipient's god-daughter, who is now near four years old; all the children are at school and the four biggest have been inoculated; Mr Pickering, Mr Hutton's steward, who lives at Bedal in Yorkshire, wants writer's eldest daughter to visit his daughters; writer has traversed Plimlimon in December.

Writer forwards a draft of a letter to Mr Johnson for alteration by recipient; writer suggests a search for any fine or recovery; if he should be disappointed by not receiving above £200.0.0. which he has called up, he desires recipient to favour him with a few months longer.

Writer advises recipient to swear the affidavit and Mr Wilkins's debt in the Exchequer rather than in the King's Bench, as it is possible to plead against the jurisdiction of the King's Bench in Wales, but recipient would be quite safe in the Exchequer; Mr John Price can swear recipient in either; writer has requested Mr Higgs to send recipient the malt.

Writer requests a loan of £10.0.0.; he has always found recipient one of his best friends. P.S. Writer is waiting at upper Lion for a client to go to Brecon.

Writer has sent up to Cappelyffyne and the messenger says the money will be paid duly; writer hopes Mr Wilson's affair will be better than expected; he has been from home on turnpike business; 'we' are to renew 'our' Hay act; he hopes a good dividend will be made to recipient in the matter of his bond at Brecon; writer thinks the date was April 1777; he will assist Sam[uel] Jenkins in obeying recipient's orders; things living and dead, except wheat, sell low, and Cornewallis's defeat will not mend the matter; many cattle, however, sold at some rate yesterday at Talgarth; the three new arches of Whitney bridge have fallen off the piers; Sir Edw[ar]d Boughton is to promote a turnpike road through Peterchurch to Ross; a fellow has stolen two fat sheep from writer's land; he does not think that folks should be hanged for sheep-stealing; Mr Maltster Williams has married Miss Morris; 'we' were forced to kill 'my' great dog which went dumb mad; Mrs Bold of Brecon has died of a bowel complaint; the widower has bought Llanvihangell estate of Mr Scourfield.

Mr Edward Davies claims £10.10.0. from the widow Price of the Pentre near recipient for curing her daughter of a desperate cancer and king's evil; she refuses to pay him more than £2.2.0.; 'he' would wish recipient and Mrs Price's minister to determine the matter as referees.

Mr Bold has given up the clerkship of the general Brecon turnpikes; writer desires recipient's vote and interest for the same.

Mr Allen promises to bring Mr Powell's answer to recipient at the fair on Monday; writer has sent for the Act.

Having received no money since 'our' meeting at Landovery, nor had the light gold changed, writer was obliged to postpone Mr Edward Jones's payment and 'yours'; writer proposes being at Landovery about the beginning of May to settle matters with 'him'; he gives particulars of three articles with which he considers he has been unfairly charged by Mr Edward Jones, and of the cost of writer's two fruitless journeys to Landovery, when it did not suit recipient to come to meet writer for the receipt of 'y[ou]r' money; writer is still inclined to submit everything to recipient's justice. P.S. Writer was also obliged to get a supply in his church for two Sundays, which really cost him money.

Mr Rich[ar]d Wilson has offered to suffer judgment to be signed against him, which writer thinks of agreeing to; Mr Wilson has advertised a meeting of his creditors at Ferrybridge; he is a shuffling man, and nothing but compulsive means will be of any effect; Mr Ald[erma?]n Lucas has died suddenly; Mr Sotheron, who is but very poorly, is at Bath; recipient's curate is well; writer has written upon the frank, not knowing whether the same member was in Parliament again.

The attendance of recipient's servant at 'our' next Great Sessions will be dispensed with as writer has accommodated matters with Wilston; recipient's hay will be in the stack before night; his neighbours are happy to hear of his safe arrival.

Mr Jno. Price has written to state that recipient has purchased an estate in the neighbourhood of Talgarth; as he is obliged to go into Cardiganshire and as he has particular business to transact for Mr Gwynne of Buckland, writer cannot come over to Talgarth till Wednesday or Thursday.

Writer hopes that the necessity of bleeding recipient arises from being accustomed to do so in the spring; a little cooling physic afterwards will induce him to take exercise, which will make him as stout as ever; sea air and bathing will then lay in a fund of health; writer will see him on Wednesday or Thursday.
