Jam. Kingston Jan 7 1833

Thomas Mayhew Esq.

Dear Sir Your favour with respect to the purchase of Chiswick land is with Mr Forsyth who undertook to reply to it and furnish the articles you wished to be sent - My commercial connexion [left margin blue pen X] with that gentleman [...] on the 31st. Ult but we continue colleagues in various concerns which we thought more for the interest of our friends to arrange in such a way thate, each of our services may be turned to the [...] (?)

In this way the management of Chiswick will continue in me while Mr Forsyth will ship the produce supply the property and keep the accounts. This arrangement we hope to prove to be advantageous and we trust will be satisfactory

The Estate I think will produce 150 Hhds this year which is a return fully equal to the labor the people are able to accomplish

The Holidays have passed with the greatest mirth and good humour among our people and I remain dear sir

Your Ob Sert. J. Townson
