Sir To Mr Jermingham Chevely

in which yow gave us advice of Franklins having cut and [¿] some
trees, and advised us to prosecute him for that Offence. In our anſwer to
this we gave yow full Liberty and deſired yow would get him [¿] to
prevent the like practice. But we have got no anſwer to this letter
nor have received the draught of the Lease to [Bedel] which we were to
sign and return to yow, and Expected a good time ago. Yow will be
pleased to send us an Account how all affairs stand with reſpect to
both the Eſtates in Hertfordshire and Ellen, as alſo your own Account of
moneys, that we may know how much we may draw upon yow for.
Send us likewise your advice with reſpect to any thing by which
the Mortification May be meliorated, and made anſwerable to the
pious deſign of the founder. In one of your last letters yow take
notice of your wanting the Deed of Lease and Release. It was last
in Mr Howards hands. Pray let us know if you have got it up from
him. This Sir is by Order of the Faculty signified to you by
your most humble servant
Prof. Simson
