Aspect
Dear Sir // I am honored with your obliging Letter, & am exceedingly / happy to hear that the Drawings have yours & Mrs Branthwayte's / approbation. I should have proposed a plan for removing the / Kitchen entirely out of the House but from the fear of being thought / desirous of leading you into more expence than you intended, which / on all occasions I shall hope & endeavour to avoid. // I do not think there would be any great objection to the / situation of the doors, however they may be most easily removed . / / I hope soon to have the pleasure of seeing you in Norfolk, / & am with respectful Compts to Mrs Branthwayte. // Your much oblidged Sert.
