Summary
Asking Ward to send by registered mail £15, noting that the salary Ward has been collecting for him from Holsworth (see MA 3151.12) should by now total £25.6. Including this last request Ward will have sent Collins £30, but Collins' salary for September 7th "will therefore in a week's time set [Collins] on the right side of the account again." Noting that Collins has been "suffering torments with a boil between [his] legs," but that a doctor will come to lance it. Pressuring Ward to visit Broadstairs before Collins quits the cottage on September 14th.
