The death of [Henry Lewis], recipient's brother.

Recipient is requested to acquaint Mr [John] Lewis of his wife's death; Miss Lewis will wait for his directions before any thing material can be done.

Writer has been most attentive to the business now before the Att[orne]y and Soll[icito]r Gen[era]l; it is early enough to give notice of trial at Hereford assizes. Draft.

As the clerk of the assize did not attend with the record, which was to be returned by him into the K[ing']s B[ench], 'they' threaten 'us' with a fresh summons; the ?Coll[ecto]r at Hull, a place of not so much trade as Liverpool, is willing to publish the Bill [of Entry] on the same terms as his predecessor. ? Incomplete draft.

Writer consults Child's books in an attempt to prove that recipient has received all the rents due to him; he has also been misunderstood by recipient respecting the rent due on the lease of the waste lands; as E[dward] L[ewis'] agent in 1768 has admitted before the House that he did not object to any one article in the Corp[oratio]n Book from 1760 to that time, no possible complaint can now affect either the charter or any corporation for a former error; Nell's disgraceful connection.

'Our' opponents, exulting in their victory, will attack the returning officer and the charter; 'they' have had the impudence to offer a retainer to Mr Bearcroft ag[ain]st recipient, John James and Hunt. Draft.

Hugh with several of the bigger boys penned out their master, who would not take him into his school again though his mother took Mr Monington to intercede for him; writer has now left him to be taught in a country house in Shropsh[i]r[e]; Mr Rod was unwilling to take Hugh along with Billy; writer wishes to keep 'it' from the Harleys, who always sent for him when they came to Hereford; 'my Coss.' Walsham saw recipient well; 'my Ld' Treasurer says he will take care of his country friends when things are settled; recipient may put cases to Mr Rickards; David Powel, a neighbour who has a careful son, is now recovering his practice. [? Address torn off.].

Recipient is advised to attend the Auditor but not to let his resentment appear in word or deed; it will lie in 'their' power in a private capacity to be useful to staunch friends; writer has given a guinea to Mr Rickards for recipient; his mother is at Hereford and his sister at Nantgwilt; recipient's brother was sent for by his wife being ill; she wrote to recipient's mother and Mr Latward has written to writer; writer desires recipient to apply himself close to the study of the law, so that he may see one of his children in the employ he designed as he is disappointed in another.

Capt. Fowler has promised a tenement to Nathan Davies, but Evan Meredith is stirring up to set it to an ill man; writer desires an answer to give to 'Coss. Bul'; he does not trouble recipient with half the applications that are made to him,. but a regard must be had to particular friends; his mother says that recipient is very cold in acting for the good of Hugh, who has lost this term at Cambridge; Da. Powell pesters some poor burgesses with writs; writer wishes recipient could get in between Auditor Harley and Gen[era]ll Gorge and obtain the tithes of Old Radnor; 'they' say that 'my Ld Oxon' has promised to make up the match [? between] Roger Tonman and his mistress; family illnesses.

The clerk of the peace will not deliver the commission which he received from 'my Ld'; he will inform the L[or]d Chancellor that the new justices are sworn and the new commission publicly read; it is said that Capt. Tayler is put up for election as a bailiff; Cha[rles] Hanmer is relapsed with the black jaundice; recipient is requested to ask Mr Chamberline for his vote in case Tonman does not stand; they design to bring in Sir H[umphrey] Howorth to succeed recipient in the borough; writer never gave the 'old Ld' cause to act as he has done; he has not heard these three months from Martha Morris; Weston is fallen into Duppa's hands; the 'Ld' suspects every one that comes to writer, and makes Mr Davies, 'our' collector, tremble; family illnesses. Damaged.

Price and some supporters named did nothing but give ale at Radnor; writer was there with Coz Lewis of Nantguilth and others named; as no one was mentioned writer thinks that 'they' had none. P. S. The coachman died last night; recipient is requested to get a new one.

Recipient is congratulated upon his success at Heref[or]d; writer presumes that Richards must pay the expense; success in 'our' sessions is not so easily obtained especially by a jury of the pres[en]t sheriff; writer asks whether Arnold has barefacedly deceived 'us'; recipient has paid a proper complim[en]t to Cozn. Monington, Wishaw, et[c].; writer enclosed a letter for recipient to send to Mr Clerk in Hereford; writer cannot write to Mr Worrall in Brist[o]ll; he wants 5 or 6 franks. [Not signed, but apparently complete.].

The circuits are held too close to each other; recipient is to get out of Ev[an] E[van]s, who is very apt to speak out over a cup, what are the chief points 'they' propose going upon; the patent is now with the attor[ney]; recipient thinks that Holl's affair is not within the act; he is requested to bring Bearcroft with him to Harpton; some of the jury might have some of the encroached lands; Thursday or Friday should bring 'us' to Harpton.
