Summary

The Steward's Reply, giving more Time.

Mr. Atkins,

I have laid your Letter and your Case before Sir John: He is moved with it, and says he will have Patience another Quarter, to see what you’ll do. Consider, Man, however, that Gentlemen live at a great Expence, are obliged to keep up their Port, and if their Tenants fail them, why then they must fail their Tradesmen, and suffer in their Credit. You have good Crops of all Kinds on the Ground; and surely may by next Quarter raise 40 or 50 l. tho’ you could not raise 20 l. in a Fortnight. This Sir John will expect at least, I can tell you. And you may comply with it from the Produce of so good a Farm, surely. I am

Yours, &c.
