Sir July 4 1709
Some time ago I Recd yr Cash Acct. wch was very right, but the Acct you sent me for the Lead you had in 1706 you never as yet discharg’d the Ballance [5 lines struck out here: ‘you charge me in that Acct for the Intrest of £500 for @ monthly seavean pounds ten shill[ings]. And you know you had many hundred pounds of mine in your hands for a much longer time, and never expected any Consideration so I hope will not insist upon <….> and notwithstanding that sum shall you’ll find in case you take it’] so you’ll find yourself indebted to me <10 > upon that Acct. and <£116.10> in yr Cash Acct., when I was at Newcastle some time agoe I gave you one of yr own Lettrs that you were willing to give the Same Price as is charg’d in the Inclos’d Acct. and my Servt. Mewburne can satisfy you [struck out: ‘of the same’], and has it undr Severall Merchants hands that paid the same prices and I know he shew’d it you . So pray Inclose me a bill for the Ballance.
Am very well assured from good hands that we shall most certainly have a Peace shortly, which makes me desire to keep the Small quantity of Lead I have a little longer and upon a Peace no doubt but it will Advance in price. I am yr vert humble Servt
To Robt. Fenwick Esq. Mayor of Newcastle
