      Dukesf[iel]d 20th April 1782

Mr W. Forster Allanh[ea]ds



I’m sorry to acquaint you that I cannot consistently with my former agreement with Pringle (w[hi]ch is in writing and signed by us both) let you have the carriage of any of Wolfcleugh Ore till his term is expired. I thought it was right to give you this second information least you should suppose f[ro]m what past at Hexham that you would get a part, & increase your Horses, for I heard that your Brother was inquiring for one for that purpose tho’ I confess it’s some relief to the disappointent of not being able to grant the request that it was your goodness to serve others and not yourself
