P:S: Your recommendation to Dean Miller to advise his Rich Relation to raise a Monument to his deceased benefactor, is agreeable to your constant attention to the interest of others; but it would have made me happy to know that the 3500£ a year or the 90,000£ of ready money had been left to a Certain Friend of Ours in Eartham, on the Condition that no Monument Should be erected:

I forgot to mention that I have known the Royal Academy give as a temporary relief 20, 30, 5 or 50 £, occasionally even larger Sums, therefore when you have informed yourself of what it will be proper to do for M:^rs H: you will be so good as to let me know
