To Sir Walter Blackett Bart.

Hexham                                                                                     Newcastle 3 September 1762



Hond. Sir/ I heard yesterday of Mr Harrison’s struck with the palsy & wrote to C[aleb] Hunter to give all the attendance he co[ul]d at Coalcleugh till you ordered what sho[ul]d be done. I wish you may meet with as able a minor to succeed him for I fear the stroke, if he sho[ul]d escape with less, will disqualify him for doing you any further service as a Grove Steward. You will see by the newspapers that we are to have a peace very soon, I hope a good one. However, it will be luck to you on acc[oun]t of its coming soon; & therefore please to accept of my Congratulation.

I am etc   HR
