To

Sir
    I beg the favour of you to deliver the packet, which accompanies this, and to negotiate the bill on mr. Bell, and pay the contents of that, as well as of the other upon yourself to mr Fauquier, and also to pay him twenty five pounds sixteen shillings and eight pence more, and to take his receipt for the whole, as paid by his father’s executors, and send it to me. You will oblige me by sending the books and robe mentioned in the inclosed. I shall draw upon you soon for the cost of two pipes of Madeira wine. With my best wishes for mrs. Norton and all your family, I am
              Sir
              Your humble Servant
