405. Robert Baldwin to Joseph Weston, with a statement of
expenses regarding Bloomfield sales, fair copy, 18 April 1825 *
April 18th 1825
Dear Sir
I inclose a statement of the Debtor & creditor account of
the 'Remains' in order to show how far the sale to the present moment will set
off against the expences yet unpaid. You will see that it is scarcely adequate
to pay the expences incurred by us—namely, paper, binding & advertising,
leaving Mr Davisons bill still unsettled.—With regard to the other account which
is made up to Decr 31, it would be quite useless to make it up to a later period
because the few that have been sold, since that time, being sold on credit can
have no more influence in the account than any others which may further be sold
during the year.
I remain dear sir your faithful servt
Robert Baldwin
