To Mr John Bell at Mr Ellis’s in
Hexham Newcas[tle] 26 Jan[ua]ry 1766
Sir Sir W[alte]r Blackett, upon my acquainting him of what you had wrote about Westwood Corn Tithes, ordered that they should be let to Mr Featherstone if you thought him sufficient at £20 a year for 3 years, without saying any thing of offering them first to Mr Jefferson or giving him any preference on acoo[un]t of his being an old tenant of a f

To S[i]r Blackett MP. In halfmoon Street
Picadilly London Newcas[tle] 27 Jan[ua]ry 1766
Hon[oure]d Sir I hope you are well after your Journey. The advertisement about Unthank Colliery was not inserted in the last Saturdays papers; because Mr Brown had not sent the plan of the Colliery as he promised, and which was to have been sent to Mr Grey previous to the publication. And it is well it was not inserted as Mr Bro

To Mr John Bell at Mr Ellis
In Hexham Newcas[tle] 31 Jan[uar]y 1766
Sir As you think there is little doubt of getting more than £20 a year for Westwood tithes, by calling them to be let; it is my opinion Sir W[alte]r Blackett will make no objection to the trial; therefore I desire you will do so.. I am etc HR

Halfmoon street Picadilly London Newcas[tle] 7th Febr[ua]ry 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir Alderman Partis died this morning; and the Magistrates in Town seem, by what I can learn, to be much divided who to have in his room; they all incline for Mr Stephenson, but there is little likelihood of his being here against the Election and they are none of them for Mr Baker, tho’ the passing over him will certainly

To Mr John Grey Attorney at Law
In Berwick Newcas[tle] 9th Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir As to the giving Copies of the particulars sent you relating to Unthank Colliery to any persons inquiring after them I should think it no way necessary, the advertisement only mentioning that they may be seen in your hands. And as to the other question what is to be done in case any persons should offer to take the colliery on the t

Hon[ou]rd Sir I am not certain but expect to be able to send you bills for £1800, to become due about the 20th of next month, and Also to make the Mills pay, and other payments as far as Midsumer.

Piccadilly London Newcas[tle] 17th Febr[ua]ry 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir Mr Grey says he received the inclosed anonymous Letter by the Post on Fryday last, but makes no conjecture of the quarter it may have come from. If I do not mistake the author, he is more dissatisfied with the Colliery than the advertisement. Mr Brown thought enough was inserted to excite those, who

Hexham Newcas[tle] 23rd Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir I forgot in my last Letter to tell you how well I thought you had done in getting such an advance for West Wood tithes above what Sir Walter had ordered they might be let at and therefore now write this on purpose in approbation of your management and when an opportunity offers shall not neglect acquainting S[i]r Walter thereof.

Hon[ou]rd Sir Inclosed I return the case about the Crown of Denmarks Debt; and shall send the original Bill and all the other material papers relating to this claim by the Fly coach next week; but doubt that an application during the minority of the present King will avail little.

To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield Newcas[tle] 28th Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir I concluded Mr Brown would have paid you the years Rent for Mollersteads before this. He ought however to pay you before you close your accounts. But whether he does or not you must charge it in your Rental, according to the form which I shall give you below, and in case you do not get the money in time then you must return him in arrear. Pray before you close your accounts be sure ab
