Sr, I have received your Lre of the 28th ulto, & have noted your 235 ps of Lead d’d at Blaydon, as below, you are pleas’d to say you will give an Order for the money in a short time. I always look upon two months in the leda trade to best of paymt, unless in Consideration of a better Bargain than I can assure you this will prove, but I shall punctually answer your draught whenever you think proper to press it upon me, only if you please I would desire you not to draw for upwards of £250 till afterward Xmas, that wee see what will be your proportion of the lot & tith, & then I will send you your Accot & pay what shall be due thereon as you direct, but if this meet not with your Approbation I readily submit I shall do all in my Power to forward the Accot & partnership pay as you desire, but as I hope for directions to pay Weardale groves before Xmas, I think the partnership pay must be respites to that time.
