In head of your reply write “Isleworth Charities”
Sir,
I am much obliged to you for the use of the Vestry Book which I returned to Mr Richards. I should be greatly obliged if you would let me have the two books before that of 1722. If you will send them to Mr Richards I will examine and return them. I propose to visit Isleworth on Saturday. Will you favor me with the present amount of Dyckhoff’s stock and the name of the Trustees. The Dividends I presume go in aid of the rates. I have contradictory information regarding Mifs Northalles Stock.
Is it in the names of Mr Wm Jones, The Silver Hall Peace, Isleworth, The Revd H P W Richards, Wm Jones and Trumpeter
Or
The Revd. H Glossop, John Wilnott deceased, James Norris and Charles Farnell.
My report is nearly finished & I am in hopes that I may enable the Trustees and Officers to effect some improvement.
I remain
Yours very truly
F A Martin
