My dear Sir,
I have just seen Mr. Burdon respecting the Money wanted for the pays, and he will write to Mr. Surtees on the Subject, I wish you would inform me the sum that will be wanted.

My dear Sir,
I have seen Sir Wm Ridley and Mr. Burdon this morning who mentioned to me the circumstances of the Banks at Newcastle having had a great run upon them & that Mr Brandling had wrote down as his rent day was near at hand for any Bills that might be offered, to be taken as usual in payment. As the stopping of the Payments at the Banks does not arise from the want of capital but from the want of specie I hope it will only be a temporary embarrassment, &

They say silver is much raised in price lately. I write in the greatest haste.
