File C/55. - To John Lewis,

Recipient should not wish to put off the American affair; Ned L[ewis] has endeavoured to take the borough of Knighton; when the borough of Kevenl[lys] has been auctioned it may come before the House; Ch[ase] would have hard work to get in; recipient's aunt is far from well; recipient should have paid the fee farm to Mr Jackson; 'we' must let Hol[l?] alone; recipient's letter to Nantg[wyllt] must contain nothing but a how do you; writer will want grass for his horse near the Town; North can only be a temporary man; writer wishes to know if Bradshaw continues in the Treasury; he is more inclined to think that there will be a diss[olution] in April. P. S. Norton for chancellor will make the lawyers wild; Nugent will do for speaker.
