Letter – Henry Richmond to Walter Blackett – 28 Dec 1761
To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. MP to be left at the Cocoa tree in Pall Mall London 28th December 1761
Hon[ou]rd Sir
It seems now to be the General opinion that Mr Featherston’s Effects will not be sufficient to pay his Debts. Therefore, as there is at present Enough upon the farm at Kenton to pay you & as in case an Execution sho[ul]d come ag[ain]st the Goods there you would only get one y[ea]rs rent out of the 4 & ½ y[ea]rs rent due at Martin[ma]s you will please to consider
Letter – Henry Richmond to Walter Blackett – 29 Dec 1761
To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. as above 29 December 1761
Hon[ou]rd Sir Mr John Cookson tells me that it is not Mr Dixon but himself that is to assist Mrs Featherston, & that Mr Stewart is to collect the acco[un]t of the debts.
I find by him, ie Mr Cookson, that the debts already known amount to above £10000 & that he does not think there will be enough to pay the cred[ito]rs. Please therefore to consider whe[the]r it is prop

Sir, Sir Walter Blackett wrote to me sometime ago to enquire if any clergyman in this neighbourhood wanted a curate, for he has a young man at the University, whom he could wish to have provided for, in that way, for the present.

Hon[ou]rd Sir
I am sorry we cannot at present remit any more money nor pay the the dra[ugh]ts you propose to Mr Bell without putting off the mills pay, wch I suppose you wo[ul]d not chuse. I wrote you sometime ago that this pay wch sho[ul]d be made in March, wo[ul]d come to £3000 but f[ro]m the acco[un]ts wch are now sent in I judge it wi

Hon[ou]rd Sir Pursuant to your directions, of securing the rent due from the late Mr Featherston in the civilest manner, I put off distraining till Mr John Cookson came to Town on Monday: when I acquainted him of what was intended, & desired that, if proper security co[ul]d not be given, such horses might be pointed out to be seize

To Wm. Fenwick Esq at Bywel[l] 8 January 1762
Sir In our last conversation about the Tack wch you wanted Sir Walter Blackett to grant you of a Lead mine that you were not willing to name or point out, I told you that provided it was not in Kilhope Fell & provided it was not any mine wrought hitherto, nor cuts off, nor interferes with any present workings, Sir Walter was willing to grant It. And that one thing more, necessary to be kn
Letter – Henry Richmond to Walter Blackett – 12 Jan 1762

Hon[ou]rd Sir
At Mayday next you will have had Mr Fenwicks £2000 four years the int[e]r[es]t paid him at first was 4 p[er] c[en]t; but f[ro]m Mayday 1760 it was advanced to 4 ¼ & f[ro]m Mayday last to 4 ½. The pres[en]t situation of affairs < & ray> make it prudent to comply with the further advance to 4 ¾ p[er] c[en]t provided he will let it remain quietly for the term o

To Mr. Thos. Maughan at Newhouse, Weardale 13 January 1762
Sir Sir Walter has got L[or]d Darlingtons Leave for Mr Elliot to attend the Reference about the dispute with Mr Bacon.
I expected before this to have heard something f[ro]m you about this affair. I mean 1st whe[the]r the ore was brought back; for without that, you know, you are not to agree to the Referees meeting 2dly. what points you & Mr Harrison think ought to be refered. Th

To Sir Wr. Blackett M.P. at the Cocoa tree in Pall Mall London 15th January 1762
Hon[ou]rd Sir
Mr Davison, whom I saw last week, said he thought the ore had been brought back, & promised. if it was not done already, it sho[ul]d be done directly.

Letter – Henry Richmond to Nicholas Halhead – 18 Jan 1762
To Nicholas Halhead Esq in Durham 18 January 1762
Sir
Those who are placed in different Stations see objects in different lights; and so you think Sir Wr Blacketts Agents are blameable for what they think they are justifyable in. For my part, I acknowledge, I cannot see that any opportunity of renewing the Lease for years upon reasonable Terms has yet been let slip. Nor do I think such an opportunity could ever present itself w
