SrSir

The last week I wrote to you that yethe Metall wchwhich you sent me was well for closenesse & hardnesse but yet of a colour not very brisque & inclinigng to red. However if it be less apt to tarnish then any other metall mixture yet known, that will sufficiently recompense yethe other imperfections. YorsYours of July 16th directed to Stoake is not yet come to my hands. I feare it is miscarried, & desire therefore you would favour me wthwith yethe particulars wchwhich were in answer to ytthat troublesome letter written last from Stoake, for wchwhich I begg yoryour pardon. I send you by John Stiles 13s for thies last quarter.

YorYour humble Servant
