      Dukesfd. 27th. July 1778

Sir

      Not knowing certainly the quantity of Sir Jno Trevelyan’s Rookhope Lead that’s wanting nor the Carriers that are to pay for it for want of Mr Morrows Accot. makes me beg that you’ll some opportunity speak to him as he will mind your directions, for I have several times the Accot. that I might be able to settle the Carriage - I am afraid the Lead wanting will be considerable.

      Pringle telling me the other day, that the Black Galloway you got of him was too spirit’d for your Ladies, makes me make free to offer One that they may each have a Galloway to ride while at Home – it’s a very quiet one, & has been used to carry a Girl, but am afraid it will be thought too little as its smaller then the one that Pringle last brought you would have offered the B. Galloway (wch I used to ride) if it had not had the spavin wch makes it disagreeable for a Lady to ride - can send either you choose wthout any trouble by the Post & am wth Comp’ts to the Ladies

      Sir yrs &c IH Jr



To J.E. Blackett Esqr Newcastle
