To Lanc Allgood Esqr Newcastle 8 Dec 1730
Sr,
I have favour of the 1st inst. & shall pay your bill to Sr Jno Swinburn whenever he sends for the money. I observe what you mention as to Kenton, but am of Opinion that Mr Wilkinson has given Mr Blackett such a hate of the Colliery that when Sr Walter considers it he won’t be so eager about the purchase, tho it certainly is worth more to Mr Blackett than to any other. I am sorry to hear you have still so many Demands upon you in Town, especially now when Bills are not to be had, I fear shall be oblig’d to send most of the money you shall want by the Carrier. You have on the other side an accot of what money I have returned since Sir Wms death and also an accot of the Cash Debts & Stock of Lead as they at present stand for your governmt. I hope Ld Jerseys money & the Money upon Kenton will soon be pd in, for I forsee you will imediately have occasion enough for it, I shall be glad to be favoured with a Line how affairs stand wth Guys Extors & how you proceed in raising their Money. Mr Wilkinsons award is as formerly mentioned, there will be £2224 4s 2 ¾ to be paid on that acct at Lady Day next exclusive of Cuthbt Heron’s mony. I must let the Weardale people have 5 or £600 more before Xmass to keep them easy if possible & not withstanding that, I must fear the Consequence if a pay is not made them early in the spring, before wee shall get any lead now at the mills to market. I go tomorrow again amongst the tenants from whom I have small expectation, wth best respects &c from JR
