Gentlemen,
We are beginning to think the land purchase at Susworth a long time in being finished up as it
was the Rev. Blew's own proposal to have all settled up by the 28th of March last, to which
we agreed. Of course it is now near seven months since & we wish to have the matter settled
at once. We hear Rev. Blew is going to leave Seatter shortly.
In all fairness we think they ought to pay us interest from the above date. Also they
promised to give the tenant 5£ to give up possession at once which we find is not yet paid,
would it make us any way liable to the tenant if we receive the money before he receives the 5£.
Yours Truly
Nicholas Preston
