23 Jan 1787

From: 1787 To: 1787

Sorry he's been ill, hope he's recovered. Sum paid by Stevenson & Seward in Servants Tax is so small as to not be worth appealing about the Office etc... The Gardener must make an immediate decision. Greater part of the Ale must be sold, retain a few barrels for his summer visit. Receipt for burning charcoals from J. Akers in the accounts. Wants to know if it has been used [?]. Queries the unpaid bill to Richard Rainforth, three yards of Clover[?] at 5/5 per yard - £15.15.0. Was Mr. Bell's bill paid last year.
