Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 31 Jan 1766
To Mr John Bell at Mr Ellis
In Hexham Newcas[tle] 31 Jan[uar]y 1766
Sir As you think there is little doubt of getting more than £20 a year for Westwood tithes, by calling them to be let; it is my opinion Sir W[alte]r Blackett will make no objection to the trial; therefore I desire you will do so.. I am etc HR

Halfmoon street Picadilly London Newcas[tle] 7th Febr[ua]ry 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir Alderman Partis died this morning; and the Magistrates in Town seem, by what I can learn, to be much divided who to have in his room; they all incline for Mr Stephenson, but there is little likelihood of his being here against the Election and they are none of them for Mr Baker, tho’ the passing over him will certainly

To Mr John Grey Attorney at Law
In Berwick Newcas[tle] 9th Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir As to the giving Copies of the particulars sent you relating to Unthank Colliery to any persons inquiring after them I should think it no way necessary, the advertisement only mentioning that they may be seen in your hands. And as to the other question what is to be done in case any persons should offer to take the colliery on the t

To Sir W[alte]r Blackett B[arone]t M.P. in half moon Street
Piccadilly London Newcas[tle] 14th Febr[uar]y 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir I am not certain but expect to be able to send you bills for £1800, to become due about the 20th of next month, and Also to make the Mills pay, and other payments as far as Midsumer. And I hope that, before that time, there will be a good demand for Lead; though indeed none that are dependant

Piccadilly London Newcas[tle] 17th Febr[ua]ry 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir Mr Grey says he received the inclosed anonymous Letter by the Post on Fryday last, but makes no conjecture of the quarter it may have come from. If I do not mistake the author, he is more dissatisfied with the Colliery than the advertisement. Mr Brown thought enough was inserted to excite those, who

In Hexham Newcas[tle] 21 Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir Sir Lanc[elo]t Allgood and Mr Westall were with me on Wednesday last and from some deeds which the latter produced Sir Lanc[elo]t would infer that the Peathouse is what was anteintly called Cattonly mill which Mr Bacon bought of Fra[nci]s Shield whose Ancestors bought it of Cuth Hawdon liable to a Rent of 5s a year to t

Sir I forgot in my last Letter to tell you how well I thought you had done in getting such an advance for West Wood tithes above what Sir Walter had ordered they might be let at and therefore now write this on purpose in approbation of your management and when an opportunity offers shall not neglect acquainting S[i]r Walter thereof.

Letter – Henry Richmond to Isaac Hunter – 28 Feb 1766
To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield Newcas[tle] 28th Febr[uar]y 1766
Sir I concluded Mr Brown would have paid you the years Rent for Mollersteads before this. He ought however to pay you before you close your accounts. But whether he does or not you must charge it in your Rental, according to the form which I shall give you below, and in case you do not get the money in time then you must return him in arrear. Pray before you close your accounts be sure ab

Hon[ou]rd Sir Inclosed I return the case about the Crown of Denmarks Debt; and shall send the original Bill and all the other material papers relating to this claim by the Fly coach next week; but doubt that an application during the minority of the present King will avail little.
Mr Brown thinks the anonymo

Letter – Henry Richmond to John Bell – 2 Mar 1766
To Mr John Bell in Hexham Newcas[tle] 2nd March 1766
Sir To what I wrote you in the postscript of my last Letter I have now to add that Sir W[alte]r is very desirous of having the duty done as usual both at St John Lee and the Chapels belonging to it till he fills up the vacancy and would satisfy any clergyman for doing it, only he objects to one Cook, whom he had heard preach at Hexham. He thinks Mr Laidman is the best person you can c

To Sir Walter Blackett B[arone]t MP in Half Moon Street
Piccadilly London Newcas[tle] 4th March 1766
Hon[ou]rd Sir Mr Baker and Mr Colpitts understand the Intersts of their Company so well, that what they agree to will most probably be right. Certainly it will be right that, if the Fitters are to be bound, the Masters should be so too. Otherwise they will enter their ships with half a dozen Fitters at a time but only

Sir Sir Walter now writes me that Mr Tulip hath written him a Letter desiring Mr Stokoe’s daughter may get the duty of St John Lee supplied till Mayday and have the profits till that time; which he has agreed to- and which I thought right to acquaint you of after what I have written you in my two last letters- only Sir Walter still excepts agai
