To Mr Darwin Greys Inn
London
Sir I received your’s inclosing me a copy of the advertisement for the sale of Woodcroft and a part of Fenwick Estates; which I shall get inserted in our next Saturdays papers: as to the particular you have left with the Master, and of which you have sent me a copy, it appears to be very proper; only with respect to Woodcroft Copyhold Mr Johnson said the fine to the Lord on the Death of the Tenant was 6s.8d as I mentioned in my Letter to Sir Walter of t
Letter – Henry Richmond to William Robson – 6 Apr 1766
To Mr William Robson at Wallington Newcas[tle] 6 April 1766
Sir I have a Letter from Mr Darwin desiring to know whether all the 150 acres which you propose should be sold off Fenwick estate is tithe free?

Sir I have received by the Hexham carrier the piece of silver mentioned in your Letter; which weighs no more than five hundred and twenty four ounces and a half.

Letter – Henry Richmond to Isaac Hunter – 13 Apr 1766
To Mr Isaac Hunter at Dukesfield Newcas[tle] 13th April 1766
Sir I have such complaints of your refined Lead from the people that have bought of it that I shall be obliged to have it all run down again before I dare sell any more of it.

Letter – Henry Richmond to Robert Mulcaster – 14 Apr 1766
To Mr R[ober]t Mulcaster at Blaydon Newcastle 14 April 1766
Sir I have this day given Mr Isaac Wilson a Ticket for 20 p[iece]s of refined DWB1 Lead, but if you have none of that sort you must deliver him such as you have that is refined.

It will be necessa
