Letter – Henry Richmond to Walter Trevelyan – 5 Jun 1768

To Walter Trevelyan Esqr Queens College Cambridge                          Newca[stle] 5th June 1768

Sir

Last Night I received the favour of your Letter of the 28th Ult[im]o & as I wrote you on the 15th April last you may have your quarterage by drawing a bill either upon Mr Darwin or me. Either of us will pay your draughts with great readiness, if you please but to write a Letter, the same day you draw your bill, to the one or the other of us on whom you have drawn it. The form of the bill and of the Letter you have below; which you will please to vary in point of Date, direction and other Circumstances as the Case may require. If you should determine to draw upon Mr Darwin, I should be obliged to you to write me that you will do so, because He may not at all times have money sufficient in his hands to answer your draughts, unless I remit it him for the purpose.

Sometime ago I received a Letter from Mr Brutton as you mentioned but have not since that time heard of a Ship for Exeter: as soon as one offers I shall send him a Kitt of Salmon as you desire. I am etc    HR
