To Mr Darwin Greys Inn London                                                            Newcastle 26 Octor 1767

Sir

Inclosed are two bills, as above, for nine hundred and fifty five pounds. That for Four hundred and ninety five pounds is for Mr Savage’s half Year’s int[ere]st due the 6th of next month and to be placed in the mean time to my Acco[un]t & advised of accordingly. The other for Four hundred & Sixty pounds is on Account of the quarterly payments which you have to make for Sir Wr Blackett to the 31st Decemr next and you will please to place it to his Account and send me the usual receipt for it. I don’t doubt but you will get the int[e]r[es]t of the Mortgagees on Kenton discharged in time to save the additional intrest – the next payment to those Mortgagees will, I suppose, be made by Mr Wilson.

I have made the Affidavit of Sr Wrs execution of the Deeds for conveying Green Leighton Estate to Mr F Midford, pro tempore; & shall send it and the Lease and Release by the Fly Coach and desire you will advise me on your receipt of it. I do not recollect any other expence that has been incurr’d here about this business but 4s.0d for Sadler’s Affidavit and mine. I am etc    HR
