I hope you rec’d mine on Sunday morning. I did design not to have faild to have mett you at Richmond on Wednesday but poor Mr Blackburne lyed a dying and my wife tells me they design to bury him at Richmond & to borrow my coach for the mourners, so my journey to Richmond is uncertain. I send this day to Esholt to give my Lady Blacket an invitation to newby in her Return to Newcastle & as soon as that is past I design for Richmond & shall acqt you the day & hour shall be at the salutac.on & if you can spare time shall desire yr Company to Richmond. There will be none in the Chariot but my selfe, pray give me service to my <Bro> Yorkle & acqt him the reason why I cannot wait of him so soon as I designed. I am sr yr obliged humble servt



Revd Mr Pemberton
