Transcript

Mr Aldis

It is now three weeks since you promised that the Next day you would send Twelve Carpenters to Rendlesham. Now I give you this fair Notice, that unless Mrs Thellusson writes me by to morrow’s Post, that Twelve Carpenters are at work there. & that they continue there until the Work is finished. I will never employ you again.

P. I. Thellusson

I shall return on Friday.

Dawson Turner has added in pencil at the top, ‘Created Lord Rendlesham | in 1806. | died 1808.’ (there is a similar, fainter, inscription below), and at the foot, ‘about 1800.’
