John 
I wrote by Saturday’s Post & sent you word 
of the Things which I have hencewith sent you 
Walond’s Voluntaries you will find Exceeding 
Pretty but as you have no swell upon ye organ 
in ye Church the swell part must be play’d on the 
soft organ taking the Loud Stop’s off with your foot 
and the parts which are wrote for the Flute Stops 
as you have no stop of that kind must be play’d 
with the Stop’d Diapason. — I hope you will 
finish my Harpsichord out of hand. 
Don’t forget the Jobbs I Left in Charge I refer you
to the Memerrandum papers do them as fast as you
Can. Pray keep good fires both in ye Studdy &
Musick Room Let this be particularly Observed. 
& when april comes dont neglect ye planting ye Clump
of Trees on the Water fall. Tell Nanny if
she will send up what new Shirts I have as
are not yet made I can get them made by the
Same Person as made the pattern shirt
which I sent down Last Summer.
Let me have a Long Letter from you 
& am yours &c —S.H.
