To Mr Richard Wray in Hexham                                                         Newca[stle] 21 March 1769

Sir

In answer to your Letter of the 19th, I wish Mr Caleb Hunter & you had settled the price at which you were to furnish Candles to Wolfcleugh Grove, for as you cannot do it at 6s 6d a Doz[e]n I do not know what to say further about the price of them. In general I can only say that believing you would, without regarding the Machinations of other Men in the business, serve Sir Walter Blackett upon as reasonable terms as the price of the Materials would allow, I did desire you might have the preference at that Grove. I am etc    HR
