Dear Sir,

I have ordered another Sum into your hands for the Prisoners, and will keep you constantly supply'd so as that you may furnish them with a Shilling each per Week from the middle of November to the Middle of March.

I hear nothing from Digges. Do you know what is become of him?

I am infinitely oblig'd to you and your Friends at Plymouth & Portsmouth for your kind Care of our poor People. I beg the Continuance of it. I wish it was in my Power to supply those honest brave patient Fellows more liberally. I will endeavour, if possible, to make their Winter Allowance 18 pence.

With great and sincere Esteem, I am ever, Dear Sir,

Mr Wm Hodgson Mercht. Colman Street, London
