Lyme Regis 23rd July 1846
My Dear Sir,
Yesterday's post would, I understand, bring you a letter, from Mrs. Robert Kennaway, desiring you to call on Charles Jacobs Esq. for £9:2:0. I am desired to say that this sum is wrongly stated, it should have been £7:2:0.
This annual subscription of Mrs. K of £2:2:0, and a donation of £5, have been generally given you hitherto, I am told, through the Auxiliary here. Our friends regret that it should not now go in the same way, and perceive that the want of it will tell sensibly against them. I merely mention this, as stated to me. If you can accommodate things in your accounts to keep the Auxiliary as fair as usual, I am sure you will.
Yours Truly,
James Thomson.
