To Mr Hopper. Farnacres 11th Septemr 1773
Sir
As you have ordered Bone Ashes sufficient to answer your own occasions, it seems to me that it will be the best way for us to take the whole of those now at Newburn, & you may repay us in kind when your first fifty arrive from London, by delivering ten Casks into our Warehouse; this will, I think, put an end to all difficulties, if you think so too, I beg it may be so fixed.
