This afternoon and not before I called on saw my Uncle, and
gave him your letter. (Call on him indeed I did before, but
did not meet with him at home. The Huntingdon Scheme
he tells me is at an end. The House is too dear, and what
is more to the purpose, gives no vote.

Your Il paroit que Votre argent monte a cinq cens trentehuit livres
& tant de schelings & de deniers; cela etant, on pourroit
tres bien y en deduire les vingt livres pour le lit &c après
quoi il resteroit plus que les cinq cens dont on a parlè.
Mais le meilleur moyen serait de mettre d'abord le tout ensemble
dans les fonds, & après on en pourrait vendre ce qui en
faudrait. Les frais de vente ne sont que très peu de chose.
un demi cen par cent (c'est a dire cent livres.) Mon Oncle
dit qu'il mettr pleura l'argent dan dès le commencement de la
semaine.

My Uncle upon my reading to him part of your letter of
yesterday expressed himself ready to apply to Mr Penton. But
in order to furnish him with instructions there are two things he wishes you to do

The 1st is to send him a particular account of all the places
in which the removes you mention would make vacancies: who
the present officers are and what the Salaries and Perquisites
of each, & what there several pretensions to succeed to higher places
