Ffeil C/96. - To John Lewis,

A variety of objects require all 'our' attention with strong prospects of success; James is confident of Evans complying with the burgesses' demand; as Dick Price's clerk had gone to Presteign, James did not get the protests at Knighton; Presteign's amount carried no less than [£]1,500; writer hopes to bring recipient's under [£]150; Morris has demanded 310.10.0 for his house [? the Cross], and Rich[ar]d Jones at least a farthing a pound too much; the Forrest rent discharge will be repaid when writer comes to Town; Mr Paterson may want to know w[ha]t's become of the Attor[ney] Gen[era]l's opinion or Wedderbone's; if 'they' have any notice of w[ha]t's done at the Cust[om] House it must be through a clerk; Harry refused to take £1.1.0 for going to Rayader. P. S. Ned L[ewis] set off this morning; E. Evans will surely not decline giving copies of the presentments; the House will command production of w[ha]t may be wanting.
