My dear Sir,

Will you be good enough to
Read this first part of my letter to
Mrs Clark

There are few landlords in Newport
who have been more indulgent to their
tenants. I have lost during the last
year a large sum of money which many
other landlords would have enforced, but
there must be a limit to this, or I
shall be much inconvenienced. According
to the statement of Mr Thomas there
will be 42/ [s] due on the last day of
this month which Mrs Clark will
recollect that I am entitled to a
months notice or a months rent

that would make ‚£2 - 16-
as I have always found Mrs Clark
a very good tenant and one for
whom I have a respect, I will agree
to the following terms.
To pay Mr Thomas in hand
30/ in full, or an agreement to pay
14/ a month commencing on the
1s[t] of February, which in three months
will amount to 42/. I think Mrs
Clark must admit that these are fair
very fair terms and I will agree to no
other, by immediate payment she
will save her daughter 12/ Should
Mrs Clark say that it is inconvenient
to advance the money at present, I
will give her credit in February when
when I come over for that amount on the
Quarters' rent

You will be pleased to read over
on the other side the part addressed
to Mrs Clark, should there be any
demur, you will be good enough to
put the law in operation, not by
employing some of the first rate
practitioners, but one you may get
to take down the furniture &c &c
You need not read this to
Mrs Clark // Mrs [?]D. Thomas Will you be pleased
to enforce the payment of the 3
weeks arrears _ for if the tenant can
not pay 4/ how is she to pay 12/
be good enough to tell her that she
must quit the house if she be not
more regular in her payments. Very
Kind regards to all _____very truly yours

Dear Sir

Some experience of this
work has taught me, that business
can be more speedily and effectually
transacted in a few hours conversation,
than by a month's correspondence.

If you think proper, I
will, on hearing from you, come to
Newport. I will see you and go
over the business. I should then
like to see the descendants of Mrs
Jones, or the principal of them. Then
I would go over to Ty du , the
matter being settled between these
parties, I could with confidence

write to Mrs [?] Chippon. The
business so far having been settled
I would see the purchaser Mr
[?]Bryer , I believe I could convince
him, that he need hold no more
13/- conversations with his Lawyers.
The matter amicably settled I
should like to see the draft of
the deed, if it be intended to make
me a party, but as to this part
of the business it need not trouble
the Sellers. I have unfortunately
and at a most ruinous expence
acquired Some Knowledge of wills
and title deeds, I should be glad to
spare the parties on both sides, that
which every one so much prizes,

Money to ... I or a situation

in which a small sum of money
would be no object, I would work
at my own expence, but as that is
not the case I shall look to you
for my expences. That is nothing
but reasonable.

Y[ou]rs truly

Mr Charlie Lewis Jno Frost
