Expects to see Firmin in London, but not aware that anything except his account remains to be settled, if, as the writer suspects, the description of the Essex estate is admitted by the commissioners for sale of the land tax. The contracts for the Leicestershire and Westminster purchases will stipulate for transfers in the 3% consols giving Lady Lucas the receipt of the next dividend due in July be naming the 1st of August for the day of transfer. The collector of taxes for St. James Westminster has not yet received his instructions for the collection of the remaining instalment of the increased assessed taxes. Includes list of tenants to whom leases are to be granted this year in Essex: Charles Clay - Dilbridge Farm Samuel Abrey - Witney Farm Joseph Sadler - Brewood Hall John Blomfield - Hazeltons Anthony Vince - Parsons Heath Samuel Cooper - Ravenstye Henry Cook - Stoke
