Concerning the sale of a harpsichord to Lady Delaval for 22 guineas, saying that if any notes "were jumbeled [sic] out of tune in moving" they are easily tuned again, assuring her that the instrument is worth 40 guineas, telling her that the board that covers the jacks must be kept locked, "otherwise the keys of all Harpsichords will make a disagreeable knocking," mentioning Capt. Douglas, Master Brown, etc.
