To Walter Trevelyan Esqr at John Hudsons Esq in York                   Newca[stle] 20th Febry 1769

Sir

Last Night I received your Letter dated 17th Janry & in it your receipt for Sixty two pounds ten shillings: in return for which I hear inclose you my Bill on Plumb & Browne for that Sum at twenty days; which is the shortest date I can make it. You will please to signify, by return of the post that you have received it; otherwise I shall not know that you get it safe.

Durham Mustard is not in such repute here as formerly but I shall send you by the first York Carrier twelve pounds of the best I can meet with, directed as you desire.

I hope Mr & Mrs Hudson & their young Ladies are well. 

P.S. Here are two Casks brought from Wallington, which some Ale came in from Burlington. I shall return them by the first Ship I can hear for that port, and you will please to tell Mr Hudson so: if he is with you. I am etc    HR
