Hon[ou]rd Sir/ There were ten Commissioners at the Meeting yesterday at Katy’s; & the Bidders for the tolls & repairs of the road were Mr Charlton & Mr Bell.

Sir/ I wrote to Mr Ellis on the 7th June last desiring were he had learned if Mr Downs was still inclined to take Stubblock Coll[ier]y upon the terms he & Mr Ray had offered; But I have not yet heard what he is for doing.

To Mr William Wilson at Haydon Bridge Newcastle 29th Novr 1763
To be left at Mr Turner’s in Hexham
Sir/ As I remember, I told you at Allenheads that Mr Westgarth thought it right for Sir Walter Blackett to make the trial near Dipton Mill himself & not let her upon Tack, & therefore he had directions to do it as soon as convenient. This is all I can say to the first part of your Lre [Letter]. As to your Enquiry about Stubblock Coll[ie]ry I mus

Sir/ I rec[iev]ed your Lre [Letter], & do not suppose you designed to prejudice the Farm you hold of Sir Thos Blackett; only you must be sensible that what you have done tends to the impovourishing of it, unless both you & Mr Hunter take proper care & look well after the management of your <subtenant>. But the great hazard is that this assignmen

Sir/ As to Mr Salkeld letting so considerable part of his Farm, he has done it entirely of his own accord.

in Half Moon Street Piccadilly
London
Hon[our]d Sir/ The present high price of coals in London is not owing to any continuance of the coal owners here. Their prices are the same now as in the summer; & the quantity wrought by them & imported into London this year has been as great as usual & wo[ul]d have been greater if the wet summer had not so often made the roads impassi

Sir/ I think it is right to send both Mr Robt. Allgood’s & Mr Wilson’s proposal, for a Lease of Stubblock Colliery, to Sir Wr Blackett; and as soon as I get his answer shall let you know.

Hon[ou]rd Sir/ Inclos’d are two proposals for a lease of Stubblock Coll[ie]ry, wch Mr Downs now declines having anything to do with. Mr Wilson a[s]ks a lease for 12 yrs & Mr Allgood for 21 yrs: as the former offers a higher Rent tho[ug]h for a shorter Term, his proposal is the better for then if the Colliery sho[ul]d prove a good one you may prob

Sir/ I have not heard anything from Mr Goulton about the Bond you sent me. I think they are much to blame to trifle away the opportunity they now have of getting the money. The surveyor tells me that the Alterations which <Messrs> Rinks> have made in Hedgeing your estate at Kenton, since the plans were done, render them entirely useless: and that there must be almost a new
