Plain Text Transcription	To Mrs Wesley [January 7, 1756] Wedn. afternoon When I saw you, my dear, I did not expect to have so large a demand made so suddenly upon me. I shall be puzzled to answer it without coming to town on purpose which I am unwilling to do before I have finished the Address. I desire you would give John Spenser (taking his receipt) or brother Atkinson (unless you choose to pay Mr Davenport yourself) what note-money remains in your hands. Unless you can help me out for a month or two, I must borrow some more in town. If you can, you will do it with pleasure. My dear, adieu [Receipts on verso] Rec’d Jan. 9. 1756 of Mrs Wesley twenty pounds on account of paying for the press materials, &c. By Will Atkinson [In another hand] May 31 paid Mr Bowyer for the quires - - - £ 6 - 3 June the 3 lent to Mr Butts on the book account - - - 5 - 5 To Mr Spencer for paper and others, &c - - - - - 26
