Royal Gardens, Kensington, April 28, 1789, 



Honoured Sirs, 



I PRESUME I need not again affign the reafon why I 

 omitted in my former letter, mentioning the expence which 

 will be incurred by cutting out the injured parts of the trees, 

 and the application of my Compofition. I have endeavoured 

 to think of every probable charge that will accrue ; and, 

 upon an accurate calculation, , am convinced it wifl not 

 exceed fixpence per tree. It may not be improper here to 

 obferve, that this calculation includes the labour of the 

 men for the operation ; the Compofition, and the applica- 

 tion of it ; and alfo an after review, that the healing of 

 the trees is going on well; but I fhould alfo obferve, that 

 in this expence I have not put down any thing for myfelf^ 

 leaving that wholly and altogether to your further con- 

 fideration. 



I am, honoured Sirs, 



With great refpecl, 



Your moll obedient, 



Humble Servant, 



WILLIAM FORSYTH..
