Summary
A threatening Letter from a Steward on Delay of Payment.
Mr. Atkins,
I havementioned your Case to Sir John, as you requested. He is exceedingly provoked at your Usage, and swears bloodily he’ll seize, and throw you into Gaol, if he has not 20 l. at least paid him by Quarter-day, which is now at hand; so you know what you have to trust to; and I would have you avoid the Consequences at any rate; for he is resolved otherwise to do as he says. Of this I assure you, who am
Yours, &c.
