out Warrant of Resurvey. This would be an immediate &
perpetual Increase of His Ldps Revenue from Quit Rents & I
submit to your Consideration whether it would not be much
for his Ldps Advantage, as it would also make pretty well
known what Vacancy there is in each County. I have hinted
my Opinion hereon to Colo Lloyd & desired he will against our
next meeting consider of it that we may be then able to write
more particularly on this Matter.

Sir
You will be pleased herewith to receive 4 Bills of Exchange
for £125. which I hope will be paid without hesitation. I have

Ldp with what I have writ concerning his private Affairs as
well as the publick Transactions in this Governt & to know
that His Ldp & you approve of the Part I have acted therein
would most sensibly delight —
Sir Yr. — —
