Recommending

Lady Gresham's last injunctions taken down immediately. Miss Gresham with great earnestness to be good to all her people. When she took leave of Miss Gresham she begged that Peters might have his lease. She hoped Miss Gresham would be good and kind to Marston who had been unremitting in her attention and duty to her to the last that when Mr. Ainge came it was her intention to do something more for her. Lady Gresham desired that I would take care that all Lord Egmont's letters were destroyed. A short time before her death she desired with great earnestness and repeated it twice that £40 a year might be added to Mrs. Marston's legacy Mr. Herbert was present and I desired him to bear witness.
