Description

Thomas Medlycott to [Lady Russell]. Letter. He recommends that she give power of attorney to Mr. Pratt, deputy paymaster,to act for her in Ireland, and gives reasons; and 'As to his reward for his Trouble, He is a Gentleman of ye Treasury will think it recompense enough to have ye Hon'r of serving a Lady, so much esteemd by my Lord Treasurer of England, but if yr Ladyship should think to allow him anything, I would advise it should be so much out of every 100 1, that he gets y'u in, so then, it will make him more industrious, because ye more he pays y'r Ladyship, ye more he gets for himself'. Mr. Pratt can also get exchange at 1 percnt; less than the current price. Custom House, Dublin, 17 Oct 1713
