at the Cocoa Tree Pall Mall
London
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.

To Mr Jno [John] Bell at Mr Ellis’s Newcastle 29 November 1763
in Hexham
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. As he applied for it Sir Wr Blackett has postponed from time to time giving as ans[we]r to Robt. Allgood’s proposal. As you will probably receive some so
Letter – Henry Richmond to William Wilson – 29 Nov 1763
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

at Dukesfield Mill
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
Letter – Henry Richmond to Isaac Hunter – 29 Nov 1763
To Mr I Hunter at Dukesfield Newcastle 29th November 1763
near Hexham
Sir/ As to Mr Salkeld letting so considerable part of his Farm, he has done it entirely of his own accord.

Sir/ I am very sorry you are so much out of order after the journey but hope soon to hear you are better & to see you here.

To Sir Walter Blackett Bart. M.P. Newcastle 9 Decr 1763
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
Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 10 Dec 1763
To Mr John Bell Newcastle 10 December 1763
at Mr Elis’s in Hexham
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. As to your Bond it must certainly be to Sir Walter Blackett; for he will be intitled to all the Arrears of Rent growing Rents and profits which you are by him appo

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

To Mr Richd Wilson at Newcastle 16 Decem 1763
Leeds
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

Hon[our]d Sir/ I receive your Lre inclosing your Bond to Mrs Byne; but as I cannot get the money before tomorrow and you will be gone into Berkshire before my Lre by Fridays post would get to London, it will be safest not to make the remittance till you return to London.

Honourable Sir Your part of the partnership Pay bills which I received last Week, amounts to 2764.4.5 ½ ; and as the money for this Pay must be kept ready, to wait Mr. Bacon’s motions, I think it would not be advisable to pay the 600 for the purchase of Mollersteads out of the Residue of your present Cash, Lest these should be a want for nece
