Most worth & respected Sir
Mr Meheux had informed me sometime
Ago of your Benevolent intentions towards me
I did not then know but I should have
the honour to see you in Town soon
To thank you and assure you it will be a
Very great act of charity if my Rent
Is paid it is Twelve pounds a year
That settled would make me easy
her grace gives me fourty
Mr and Mrs Meleux very good to me
Without such great and noble friends

My poor mother died I lost everything
With respectful wishes for the
Prosperity of your Family Sir
