I have seen ye Trustees & have got there consent to out down ye Timber that was valued at Gringley. I shall bring down with me their approbation signed by them, to shew ye Purchaser, on ye recet of this I would have you go to Gringley & sell to ye person that I described to have ye refusal, but not under 500 
I would have you ask 500 Guineas & that ye Timber shall be cleared in two years, if he agrees to this I would have his get ye articles ready as soon as possible, that I may sign them as soon as I come down, I also expect ye money to' be paid at signing of y articles, if he objects to any part of this, I would have you look out for another purchaser if he talks of interest for ye two years tell him I take (?) ye 25 for that purpose ---—
