Sir
According to your request to forward an order on Mr John Lloyd to deliver to you or your order 14 Cows 28 Hiefers and 18 Calves Total 60 Head being the number deficient of youre order received at Nariel I am sorry the Cattle ware so low in condittion at the time you received them but the only way I can account for it is thare being too great a quantity of grass and the calves not weaned in a proper time with respect to the Bull you complain of I beg to say he is not the one I intended you to have I will therefore exchange him or make you an allowance I hope to be at Cooks Vale myself on or about the 14th Jany to mustter my Cattle if you can make it convenient to receive then thare it will save a great deal of trouble in collicting the herd a second time

I am Sir
Yours faithfully

I have just received another batch of orders from Wm Walton to the Amt. of £53 . 10 . 7 among which is £21 . 9 . 8 on yr own a/c. I a;lso find among those paid to Levy £30 . 11 . 1 to yr a/c besides £15 in favor of Wm Harrison making a total of £89 . 1 . 8 to yr own a/c  that does not appear in yr acts. with me if such omissions occur in yr own a/c similar must in the mens which I will compare at some future day. Would not it be well to come down and have all properly cleared up when you can consult with yr brother - once for all I will pay no more orders on yr a/c
