Copy of a Letter for Mrs..i Roseii

Madam
I[n] a paper I delivered lately to H.R.H the Duke of Kentiii, I submitted to H.R.H. that the Executor[?] of Mr .iv Rosev had not yet forwarded to me any memorandum of what he might be in Debt for the Trouble Mr Rose had taken in executing some Business for His R. Highness so far I have prepared the Duke of Kent to expect he may receive an account of the same to which you have refered so considerately in your polite note[.]

The opportunity being so favourable to introduce my friend that I mentioned to His R Highness my intimacy with Mr.vi Rose, and it was agreeable to the Duke of Kent that Mr. Rose should be requested to give me his assistance, which I received most cordia[l]ly[.] Mr.vii Rose began with examining at Mr.viii Dicken's Office in the Temple[?] different Rolls of the Mannor of Ealing in order to ascertain the Right of Freehold, and H.R H had by possessing the Estate [of] late Mrs.. Fitzherbertsix at Castle Berryhillx an order to qualify the Duke of Kent to enclose[?] Scotch Common, There are no doubt many other enquiries were necessary and of Course Mr. Rose had various trouble on this account - In June 1804 I received a Command from the Duke of Kent to purchase a small Estate at Ealing then advertised it was sold by Auction to me for His R. H. I again applied to Mr. Rose who examined many Papers of the different Mortgaugesxi to regulate the Transfer of this property sufficiently secure for the Duke of Kent as this
