Dear Tom
Many thanks for the kind care of visiting M:r Reid & sending me the Water Lilley as also for the Solicitude concerning the Lord Mayor, thank God! we were enabled, after \some/ difficulties (with which you I believe was acquainted I believe before you left town) to raise & complete the work in its place, much to the Satisfaction of the inhabitants as well as my employer, the Inhabitants & Clergymen testifyed [sic] their approbation by an Unanimous desire that I would direct the repairs of their Church which I undertook with great pleasure as the inside is perhaps the finest Modern building in town, in return for their extraordinary Civility to me I charge nothing for my advice & without adding more than Ten Pounds to their expence I think their Church will become an object of great beauty — so much for Self — I can add nothing to the directions for Study at Petworth, the more you follow them the greater your improvement will be
