Messrs Isaac & Jno Wilkinson Chesterfield 			Newcastle  30th Septr 1795

                           



Gentlemen	I am much obliged to you for your favour of the 5th Instt which I delayed answering in expectation of having it in my power of advising you of a Sale of Lead;  I have not yet compleated it but in a few days I am in hopes that I shall succeed in obtaining £17-10s per Fo[dde]r for 25,000 p[iece]s; the London Houses are very eager to purchase & the quantities at this Markett will fall considerably short.  When I have made a Sale you shall be advised of the same.   I am respectfully 

                                                     Gentlemen Your Most Obed[ien]t Serv[an]t

Messrs Isaac & Jno Wilkinson                                        J E Blackett

A two year community project, it was led by the Friends of the North Pennines in partnership with Hexhamshire and Slaley Parish Councils and the active support of Allendale Estates. It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the generous support of other sponsors. Friends of the North Pennines: Charity No:1137467
