Enclosure letter From Mr Francis Burton to Revd Dr Jenner 26 May 1758

Revd Sir

As the people of Helmdon think that it will be for their advantage to have their fields set out as soon as may be, I have at their request agreed to ye 5th of June for ye first meeting of the comms (commissioners) If ye have any particular commands for me you will be so good as to communicate them betwixt this time and that. In general you may depend upon my utmost care of the College Interest. This meeting happens a little inconvenient in one respect as I am afraid I shall not be able to send my little boy to Oxford so soon as I should do. He is all next week to go through a medical discipline for ye Worms, by which he is almost eaten up. I hardly ever saw so large a Breed of those noxious insects, but hope to get rid of them and intended him to set out on Monday morning Early; but now my pony must be out till Tuesday night & therefore if he should not come till Wednesday I hope you’ll be so good as to pardon him; not but I intend to send him if he is well, and I can procure a steed that I can trust him upon and will do it at all adventures if you require it being with the greatest truth
