Letter – John Bell to Henry Richmond – 9 Mar 1764
Sir Hexham 9th March 1764
I have consulted Mr Ellis touching the Owners of the Estates in Anick having a right to dispose of the Royalties there and he tells me that he remembers to have seen a Copy of the Grant of Anick that there were several purchasers that the whole Town was purchased about the 8th of King James the First from Holford and Sey who were purchasers of Salter and Williams who were patentee
Letter – Henry Richmond to Walter Blackett – 12 Mar 1764
To Sir Walter Blackett Bro[ne]t MP in Newcas[tle] 12th March 1764
Halfmoon Street Picadilly London
Hon[our]d Sir The demand for Lead at this point in the Year 1760.61 & 62 was not sufficient to take off your whole quantity; and this, rather than a Refusal of the current price in hopes of a better, was the cause of its accumulating. The price in 1760 was down at £11 p[er[ Fother; wch was £20 a Fo[the]r lower than your Lead had cost
Letter – Henry Richmond to John Sharp – 13 Mar 1764
To The Rev[eren]d Dr Sharp at Hartburn Newcas[tle] 13th March 1764
near Morpeth
Sir I received your Letter of the 11th instant, but am afraid the Title deeds of Mollersteads cannot be sent to London, for the Estate is Mortgaged and I find there will be no small difficulty in getting the Mortgagee to part with the deeds even to a Council in the Country. Might not the Governors of Queen Ann’s Bounty, by appointing some person there or at Durham, whom they can depend upon, t
Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 13 Mar 1764
To Mr John Bell at Mr Rich[ar]d Ellis’s Newcas[tle] 13th March 1764
in Hexham
Sir I am glad you are at last offered the old Rent for Allandale Tithes: and as from what you say about them, that Rent appears to be as much as can be expected for them, I think Sir W[alte]r Blackett will have no objection at all to your letting them to Will[ia]m Lee for nine Years with Liberty to quit at the end of the third and Sixth Year. If you have any doubt about Lees Sufficiency, he
Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 16 Mar 1764
To Mr John Bell at Mr Rich[ar]d Ellis’s in Newcas[tle] 16th March 1764
Hexham
Sir Rob[er]t Bell may be very easy as to the trespass he has committed in going into Mr William Erringtons grounds: tho[ugh] it would have been better if he had not meddled with the Corfrods there; because it seems by your Lre that there is no proof, yet obtained, of this being all cut in Anickgrainge Estate. He should have brought you the person’s name that cut them; & then inf

in Hexham
Sir The Bill of Costs, which my Brother sent you, in the cause against those who grind from Hexham Mills, was sent in Consequence of what Mr Ellis had said, that he believed several of the Defendants would submit. So that you should apply chiefly, if not solely, to those whom Mr Ellis expected would do so.Lest Sir Walters moderation should be miscons

Sir Sir Walter Blackett is sorry to give you so much trouble; but the hams & <Cheeks> which you send are so much better than any he meets with here that I will be obliged to you if you will send half a doz[e]n of each sort directed to him in Newcastle as soon as you can conveniently meet with them. And I will desire Mr Darwin to pay you for

Roberts’s Place York
Sir The regular Way for the payment of the five hundred pounds, wch you want in part of Sir W[alter] Blacketts and W[ilia]m Peareth Esq[uire]s joint Bond to you for £2000, would have been for the Indorsem[en]t to be made & the money paid here for my coming over to Leeds is not practicable : however as Sir Walter is willing to accommodate you I have wrote to Mr < In

Ellis’s in Hexham
Sir
I have acquainted Sir W[alte]r Blackett of all you have wrote me about the Corfrods, cut in his Estate at Anick grainge; and as the thing was done in a clandestine manner, without permission, and you have sufficient proof by Thomas Bewick, besides the Man’s own Confession, Sir Walter orders that Complaint be made before two Justices, or at the Sessions ; if t

Letter – Henry Richmond to Isaac Hunter – 3 Apr 1764
To Mr Isaac Hunter Newcas[tle] 3rd April 1764
at Dukesfield
Sir I do not see how you can well make the Mill pay, till at least that part of the Rookhope Lead, which the carriers undertook to bring quite through, is actually brought to Blaydon. The whole quantity of Rookhope Lead that is wanting is 1874 p[iece]s. So that if even we were to pile the 1000 p[iece]s that were to be taken from the carriers at Apperley ; still the r

Sir I received your Letter of the 3 [rd] inst[an]t ; and thank you for your punctuality about the Endorsements on Sir W[alte]rs Bond to Mr Fenwick and on his Assignm[en]t thereof to Mr Ward. Your taking so much trouble in the affair has removed one part of Mr Fenwicks difficulty. But I think he cannot remove the other part without coming to Newcastle himself to receive

Roberts’s Place York
Sir I received your Letter of yesterday’s date in which you mention that you had signed and sent me the Receipts which I inclosed you in my last, but as I have not received them I suppose you must have forgot them.

Sir Mr Fawcett has got the Writings of Mollersteads and will examine them and make an abstract of the Title as soon as possible. When that is done he will consider of the Draught for severing Whitley Chapel from the Curacy of Hexham; but he will want to see Mr Graham’s Appointm[en]t to that Curacy and copy of it and perhaps this may be more readily

Sir I find George Brown of Fenwick is very much in Debt upon Bonds and Notes; that his Estate is deeply mortgaged: and that his Creditors are growing very uneasy. You will therefore acquaint Sir W[alte]r Blackett of this, and take his directions before he goes for London. I wrote you that Brown’s Arrears to Sir Walter was £367.10.0 due Martin[ma]s last ; and the half y
