Summary
Thanking him "...for the very great & disagreable trouble you have been so obliging to undergo in the negociation of this Business; an Event I am persuaded will make Henny perfectly happy, for which I dare to say she will always retain a proper Sense of the obligation she owes you; a freedom which I think would have proved difficult to have obtained without your friendly aid, which I shall not fail to make her truly sensible of, as I am myself of the very troublesome part you have had to act;" adding that he will draw on the fifty pounds he is owed from him or if later there is a balance against him he will readily pay it.
