On the reciept of your letter I wrote to mr Bacon to send me the account which I had left with him to convince you of the errors of addition in it. it is now before me.

your addition makes	the debits	£53-10-1
	the Credits	42-10-6
	Balance	11-1-7

the true addition makes the	debits	£51-8-7
	Credits	42.17-6
	Balance	8-11-1	= 28.5

which sum I paid to the post office to your credit. I will carry this account with me to Albemarle, for which I shall set out in about a fortnight, and there you will be able to satisfy yourself of the correctness of the addition. I present you my salutations.
