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.
