Dear Sir

At my Return from Church, I found on the Table
the {Reverend} {Mister} Dodd's Excellent sermon, preach'd at the Anniversary
Meeting of the Governor's of the Magdalen Charity, in March last, which
my Nephew had just Receiv'd. I Read it with great Pleasure, which
Reminded me of a former Resolution of throwing in my mite to that
noble Charity, which thro' Hurry of Business I had omitted, and lest I
should forget it again, I take my pen and Desire you will please to pay
out of the first money you may Receive for me, Twenty Guineas, my
subscription to the Magdalen Charity, & charge to my account.

I am with much Respect,
Dear Sir,
Your most {Obedient} {Humble} {Servant}

To {Jonathan} Barnard {Esquire}
one of the {Governors} of Magdalen Charity.
