Worthy and True Friend: November y^e 9^th 1703

Having not heard from you since my Last I Am doubtful

of you Health: neither {?Hath} George Stocks Had any thing from

you concerning the {?April} money {?and} {?tells} me it lay

Ready for you some Time in London: I {?Have} taken

notice several Times of the {?Hearts} and {?minds} in

Grafton {?grounds} which were never good in my Time

but now worse Then ever they were one Reason is

The present Tenants {?were} [deleted] never being by {?they}

{?Leaks} to {?Repay} {^and} so neglected them the more: as to

{?That} {?part} which George Stocks [damaged] keeps in this one Hands

The {?mounds} are kept pretty well: but there are some

of Them, {?under} {?servants} which are {?servants} at will

as a man may say are very [illeg] of [illeg] I

have Little to say more concerning Grafton Till I Hear

further from you

as to the {?fforrist} concerns Thee under{?woods} will be [illeg]

or destroyed for they do not keep Houses in the {?young} woods

but only but cows and sheep: The {?Coopers} that we

to be [illeg] this {?most} season and [illeg] your wood

you told me you was in Hopes the {?earth} of Grafton

and {?Sr} Tho {?Hammond} would agree about Grafton {?pastures}

but I heard nothing {^from you} of {?Late} about it [deleted]

my {?service} to you and to Mrs Jennings to your son and daughter

{?only} from

Your True friend and most humble

Servant [illeg] tho Herbutt
