Dear Sir
I will send you a list of the other arrears tomorrow. I
write now respecting Mr G H Andrew who has not yet paid
his tithes £56 2 2d and seems inclined merely to put me
off. He has however promised to give me next Thursday a
note payable at xmas for the amount signed by his
brothers who take his farm and between whom and himself
in agreement drawn up by Mr Whitford of St Columb is to
take place, I am afraid that he is rather a slippery
person and think that the former means to make him pay
are taken the better his brothers can pay the amount and
if they offer their security I should take it - & allow
the money to be paid at xmas. I will thank you to desire
the money to be sent by Thursday next & if this is not
done to proceed against Mr G Andrew
M W Bevan remittances then was in (?)ion of £75 last
year which he generally has called the Michaelmas
payment the 75 which you speak of only came in its
proper time
All the tenants in arrear of rent have promised payment
by midsummer except Old of Trelowsa who is to pay £30 by
midsummer and 10 directly after harvests If these sums
are not paid by all as promised you must have recourse
to distress - I have written to Mr Bevan if he doesn’t
answer me satisfactorily by sending the money I will
request you to see that the matter is put on a proper
footing, I Lobb of Tayellow has paid me £25 he talks of
going to America to look for a farm there I believe that
he has no intention of going off without ? whatever is
due for rent on giving proper notice but as he has once
when tenant for a long term just expired valid acted so
far unfairly as to have incurred a forfeiture of this
lease I think this had better be mentioned to Mr Coode.
I am told that he is a man of property and has a large
stock ? ?do not know my self about it .
Yours truly
T H Peter
PS I will also thank you to take a councils opinion
whether my agreement with the tithe payers by which they
promised security for the payment if the rent change
cannot now be stamped and enforced against them
Sent to W Shilson St Austell.
