Letter – Henry Richmond to John Grey – 24 Sep 1770
To Mr John Grey Atty at Law in Newcas. 24 Sept 1770
Berwick upon Tweed
Sir As Mr Thos Armorer is not at Age I doubt there will be some difficulty in paying his share of the money due on Sir Walter’s Bond at this time. But if you will please to send a Copy of the Bond I can judge better for I have not a Copy of it nor ever saw it nor do I know whether the Trustees have a power of calling in the principal or any part of it - bu

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Christopher Bell – 25 Sep 1770
Part of Mr Walton Junrs. Letter of 25th September 1770 to Mr Chris Bell

Now I would have the Carr

Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 30th September 1770
Since I received your Letter inclosing the three last Assays, I have often thought about the Litharge taken from the Silver Test, and am in some doubt whether putting the Litharge into a Test again, before it is Reduced into Lead, is so proper as to reduce it first; so as the Litharge Swims upon the Surface of the Melted Lead in the Test, the Rich Litharge may be blown off at the Gate before it leaves the Silver, this would undoubtedl
