Dr. Sir
The inclosed three letters on the subject of the Tyne IronCo. I have reced from Mr. Blackett to inclose for your approbation as the only Bill we hold of theirs, is the one for £1,500 which was left here by you some time ago. The Tyne Iron Co. not being able to carry their former engagement into execution, it has been thought adviseable by many of the Creditors to agree to the proposals of Mr. Bulman, though less advantageous to them than the former o
