A letter and bill transcribed below.
Sir,
Your favor with a bill on Newnham and Co. for £9 3s 4d I received this day which balances your account. I am much obliged to you for it, and am very sorry you should have occasion to complain of the candles sent to you, my son will be in Cambridge next week. He will take the liberty to call and look at them and if it's your wish will change them.
London January 9th 1796
I am Sir yours,
