Letters – Joseph Richmond to Walter Blackett – 25 May 1756

To Sr.Wr Blackett Bt. MP. London Newcastle 25 May 1756 Hon Sir Frank set forwards this morning with 4 horses & I p[ai]d him four Guineas tow[ar]ds bearing his Expences. The Affidavit of yo[u]r Debt due f[ro]m Mr Carrick was very right, but tho the Assignm[en]t he made of his Effects to Mr Lowes is given up it looks as if there will be but a very small Dividend.
