Will you have the goodness now to state your Account and at the same time the Discount you can allow upon settlement as well as the mode in which you wish the remittance to be made.

My Dear Sir
Your letter which I rec'd this morning has indeed given us very great concern; at my uncles advanced age so very severe an illness must reduce him very much & I greatly fear if he gets over this attack it will be long before he recovers his strength again, however we hope as he is rather better, that this mild heat here will be of service to him, & that we may all meet again this Spring in the north, very few people

Having examined the Company’s Mines under my Care, I Let on the 25th, 26, & 27th past the sundry Bargains, a List of which is annexed. I have made with the utmost difficulty a reduction in the prices, & hope the Court will be satisfied therewith; it has brought on a universal Grumbling thro’ the whole ranks, & if times sh[oul]d turn out so unfavourable as to require a further reduction, many of the places in different

Letter – William Blackett to John Erasmus Blackett – 24 Apr 1807
My Dear Sir
Many thanks to you for your kind letter which has given us much pleasure. Ingham must have treated my Uncle Harry with judgments & has been indeed very attentive but after so very serious illness it must be some time before he recovers his strength & usual state of health. Admiral Collingwoods letter was very satisfactory no intelligence having come from that quarter for some time, owing to the vessel with the dispatches having been taken, It seems now however that t
Letter – William Blackett to John Erasmus Blackett – 28 Apr 1807
My Dear Sir
This very sudden dissolution of Parl[iamen]t at this time is most inconvenient to me as I shall most probably be obliged to set out for the North in a very few days. Mr Miggison tells me there is no occasion for my being at Newcastle before the middle of next week & I hope all will be quiet, if Ld Percy does not stand there will be no opposition if he should offer himself perhaps it may be necessary for me as Sheriff to engage <to w’hold> & in that case will y
