Dear Sir,

Josh Croker <2> as usual is behind with his rent but he promises to pay in a fortnight. I shall be happy to make any payment you wish in advance and I will also send Mr Gilchrist-Clarke’s <3> half yearly payment which will become due tomorrow. Shall I remit to you at Coutts <4> or Edinburgh? When you come to the Abbey I will take the opportunity of speaking further about a site for the proposed Parsonage at Bowden Hill –

I remain yours obliged
