To
John Hatley Norton esq;
    Winchester
Dear Sir
    On My books is stated an account as below:
    dr. John Norton eq. in account with George Wythe-
1769 to a fee for prosecuting your suits against Holt Richeson         2.15.0
    to a fee for prosecuting your suit against Whitinge and Clayton    2.12.6
1770 to a fee for prosecuting your suit against Boswell                    2.12.6
    to a fee for defending you at the suit of Booker in Chancery
Why the last article was not carried out, i do not recollect. but the amount of the others very nearly equals the balance with which i stand charged in the books J. Norton & sons.
    be pleased to let me know if this is satisfactory or not.
    present my good wishes to mrs. Norton and her young ladies; and believe me to be,
              Dear Sir
                   Your friend
                        G. Wythe
