TitleLetter from John Catlin, London, to [Martin Folkes]
Date29 December 1743
DescriptionHe received the letter of the 20th and has been prevented from replying sooner by business. The letter to France has been sent. As he informed Folkes on Friday, he attended 'the Master' for a full hour and went through many vouchers. One more attendance should go though all receipts to 30 April 1740 and the discharge might be specified in ten days or a fortnight. On the article of housekeeping, the other side's solicitor proposes looking over vouchers to verify Mrs. Lynch's general receipt, but the Master may wish to see the vouchers himself. Mr. Bonnet's solicitor objected to Mr. Bailey's bill. He has called upon Miss Folkes that morning and she professes her duty and thanks for Folkes's letter.

With some arithmetic verso, and two small heraldic sketches.
