Dr Sir

	Your favour of the 8th instant I reced.  I can’t inform you the day that Mr Coulthard died but Mr Bell tells me you have three months yet to nominate the Person who is to succeed to the Curacy at Allandale.  I have sold Dr Hall 5000ps Lead at £12 p Fother; one half refined & 500 ps Slag at £11.15s.0d a Fother which is above the Stockton Market & I wish I could sell a larger Parcel at the same Price.  I shall let the Gardens Stables etc for the best Rent I can get & advise you of it.  In the joint Purchase that Mr Hedley & I made of you it was necessary that it should be in the Name of a Person in Trust for us which is the Reason for Mr Mosleys Name being made use of.  Inclosed I send you two Bills as above amounting to £500 the Receipt of which you will please to acknowledge that it may be filed with the Receipts.
