Three of your notes I put into a lawyer’s hands, two of them [evere?] monthly paid before I gave them [less?] to the lawyer he wrote to them two or three lines but as he did not issue any executions he could not make them pay him for his trouble therefore he kept his pay out of your money which amounted to twenty one shillings and 8 I had to send to Halifax for the [enclosed] draft which the Bank charged me fourteen shillings and [E?] of discount for and the registering of the latter cost me amounting in whole to £1..16.8 the balance I think [little?] enough for my own trouble please let me have from you an accept of this yours truly”
