Jno. Erasmus Blackett Esqr. Newcastle



       Mr. Richmond ordered me when last wth. him, that when I heard of a meeting in regard to New Turnpike on the south side of the Tyne to attend & acquaint him wth. the Resolution there taken, I see by the Papers that there’s to be One on the 27th. inst in N. Castle & find by my Brothr. that there’s no place fix’d upon, but that the Subscribers are on that day to fix wch. will be the most convenient – as none but principals (I suppose) will attend shall like to know whether you think that I ought, or if you choose that I should come down & acquaint you befor the Meeting how the projected Roads are situated wth. the Lead Way. & am wth. due deference
