Description
Includes references to Mrs Jenkins having died on the 15 Oct 1752 but having had no answer to the letter that she had sent to Grimston; wishing to know what should happen with Mrs Jenkin's daughter as she was 'a verey great objecte of Charitey' and Mrs Hamerton cannot maintain her and Mrs Jenkin's funeral expenses having been out of her own pocket. Includes a copy of a reply from J Grimston to Mrs Hamerton on 22 Nov 1752, referring to having sent to Mrs Hamerton requesting the bills for the expenses for the funeral; Mr M[aister]s account indicating that Mrs Hamerton's six guineas were paid on the 10 Oct when Mrs Jenkins died on the 15 so hoping that that would suffice and not knowing what relation Mrs Jenkins was to his father but having continued the annuity as a charity as his father had done before
