Sir,
My private affairs with you being
within a [Masson] [Compages], I need give but little
trouble on my own account I wish I could be thought
so easy a correspondent when I write of Mr
Page's business A very large sum of money
due to you, bills of exchange drawn and [a short]
crop remitted, must needs give me cause to fear
that what I say will give but little satisfaction.
If what I write from Corotomon concerning the
duplicate of the accot [account] current should give any
offence, you will [impute] it to my fears and appre-
hensions that the ballance [balance] is grown too large
to leave room for much patience, and that you
intend to take your remedy against the [estate-]
When you are so good as to write me word that
you have no such intentions, you shall find me
ready to sign the accot [account[ current, or to do anything
else you can desire of me. I said all I could to
Colonel [Willis] to put [hims] [ off ] [til] another year; but
he said the bills were to go to yourself, [presed] the
matter so much that I could not refuse him two hundred
pounds
