& to pay you thirty pounds more on account of your drawings which I value at 50£  Whenever you chuse to consent to give me a receipt for that price sum as their price as I do not think it right proper to insist upon the right to them which I derive from your having made me a present of them in while your circumstances are so much confind

Your Hble Servant
